  • No distilled product.

    Has to be naturally fermented.
    Red wine.
    Sweet.
    Not mixed with other fruits, i.e., cabernet, merlots, etc.

    In terms of brands in the USA that are commonly used:  Manishewitz, Kedeem, King David.

    I see, right now I'm sipping a drink of Cabernet Merlot from this Canadian Wine company, it's really good but it doesn't compare to what our church uses, so I was just wondering. I'm going to right a composition on wine, and my experience with sipping this wine (essentially I'm going to write a composition about my hour while sipping this drink). So I will incorporate our church wine into the composition. Thank you very much, sweet, red, naturally fermented, not distilled :). Brands seem to be mainly Jewish and Kosher too.

    Yes, I was :P. It wasn't that bad really, my focusing abilities were barely affected, I did quite a bit of French exam study last night.

    Well, if you were studying French last night, I sure hope you had a croissant with your wine.

  • when u study after drinking you become much more confident in you abilities, but you remember less.
    not that i ever tried it...
    ;)
    ok, maybe a couple of glasses  :-[
    but seriously if you don't drink at all (excluding Holy Communion which doesn't count) then your head is much clearer and your memory is better.
    us older guys hope u learn from our mistakes so u don't have 2 make so many yrself!
    :)

  • Khas,

    Don't get me wrong, but I thought you were younger than 21? Or is the age limit only in America?

    Khas,

    Yes, I am younger than 21, by a few years actually. In Canada the law follows:
    In Ontario the legal drinking age is 19 years old. Anyone of any age can consume alcohol with the permission of a parent or guardian. Under those circumstances only can someone drink alcohol.

    I think there was lots of alcohol present when the language was invented.
