[Avodah] Grape Juice

[martin brody]

All "best wine" is of course personally subjective, but it cannot be
something that has been deliberately spoiled by cooking. Therefore, the
best wine is non-mevushal.That's what it means There are many fine sweet
and semi sweet wines that are non-mevushal. Pasteurised Grape juice is NOT
wine. It cannot ferment into a potable product. That people enjoy that
taste does not magically make it wine. That it is permitted by poskim for
sacramental purposes still doesn't make it wine.
Cheers,
