Should a gift of wine for someone Jewish be Kosher?
I want to buy a gift of wine for someone who is Jewish. I read an article on wine selection that said that Jews drink Kosher wine even on social occasions. I believe this person belongs to a reform rather than conservative congregation. Must the wine be kosher? Thanks in advance for your answers.

It really depends on the person in question. Hard to say since we don’t know. But if you want to be on the safe side, there are a ton of german wines that are kosher and also fantastic. You don’t have to settle for cheap Manischewitz or Mogen David. Try looking for wines made by Schlink Haus.
just to be on the safe side you should get a kosher wine. You don’t want to accidentally offend.
To be safe, get a Kosher wine if you can. Look carefully all over the label for a symbol that looks like a U in a circle.
buy kosher, it shows you are respecting their religion! even if this person does not keep kosher or does keep kosher
Joy is right, as far as she goes. The "U" means that the wine was passed by the Union of Orthodox Rabbis. Products with a circled "K" are also kosher. However, not many Reform Jews keep kosher. If you don’t know, though, be on the safe side and look for the "U" or "K" marks.
According to the Jewish law wine must be kosher. The common kosher symbols include a circled u or k. Wine is one of the most strict food (or drink) in Judaism. For example, there could be problems if it is opened or pored by someone else. Here is a full list of the kosher symbols: http://www.kosherquest.org/symbols.php
If they keep kosher, it should be kosher. If you don’t know their denomination, buy kosher.
Yes, it should. And if you can, try to get a ‘Mevushal’ wine (you can find a list of them on google). You’ll definitely impress them with that.
It’s very kind of you to ask, by the way.
I used to receive non-Kosher wine and then didn’t know what to do with it. In the end, our neighbors really loved us for all the free wine and (non-Kosher) chocolates.
