As Israeli wines gain world renown, more and more are going Kosher - which entails a return to Avoda Ivrit (Jewish Labor). Arutz-7 visited several wineries: the Kfar Tavor winery, which has recently made the decision to turn Kosher; the Binyamina Winery, which has been producing Kosher wines since before the establishment of the state, and which has expanded into the top-shelf wine market; and the IsraWine Expo 2008, which showcases Israel's wines to importers, restaurants and experts from around the globe.

The Hevron Heights Winery features a Machpela Wine, named for the Cave of the Patriarchs in which Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob, Leah, Adam and Eve are buried.

Some Kosher wine is still imported to Israel, "mostly for olim (immigrants) who like certain tastes that originate in California's Napa Valley and the Concord grapes of upstate New York," the importers of Baron Herzog say.

Israel National Radio's Yishai Fleisher and Haaretz's Vered Barlell can both agree: Israel's wine is the best in the world.
