20 September
Rosh Hashanah Season and Kosher Wine
September 20 often lands near the Jewish new year, when kosher wine and grape juice sit at the centre of the table. Kosher production needs supervision, permitted additives, and handling rules that differ from ordinary cellar practice. India has a small Jewish community and a larger imported-kosher market in hotels. The wider lesson is the same as for halal-certified venues or temple prasad: belief systems write extra rules on top of excise law.
