Shopping now? See every bottle on our kosher wine for Rosh Hashanah page.

Rosh Hashanah begins the evening of September 11, 2026, and the theme of the table is sweetness: apples and honey, round challah, and wines that set the tone for a sweet new year. Here's what we're recommending this year, all in stock and ready to ship.

Sweet Wines for the Yom Tov Table

Bartenura Moscato (750ml): $14.49
The blue bottle needs no introduction. Lightly sparkling, low in alcohol, and universally loved. It's the safest bet on any Rosh Hashanah table. Mevushal, so it can be poured by anyone at your seudah.

Bartenura Moscato (375ml): $9.99
The half bottle, perfect for smaller households or as a hostess gift alongside a jar of honey.

Bartenura Moscato Cans (4 Pack): $18.99
For the second-day lunch in the backyard. Chill, pop, pour.

Mount Hermon Moscato (750ml): $18.99
From the Golan Heights: an Israeli Moscato with OU certification, mevushal, and low alcohol. A beautiful way to bring Eretz Yisrael to your table for the new year.

Luigi Il Grande Moscato Rosé (750ml): $22.99
Sweet, sparkling, and pink: a festive pour that looks as good as it tastes next to the simanim.

The Pomegranate Pick

M&H Elements Pomegranate Wine Cask Single Malt Whisky (750ml): $84.99
Pomegranates are one of the classic simanim of the night, and Israel's Milk & Honey Distillery bottled the idea. This single malt is matured in casks that held Israeli pomegranate wine, layering red-fruit sweetness over the malt. Star-K certified, and easily the most memorable l'chaim you can pour this Yom Tov, or the gift for the person who has everything.

Honey Spirits for the L'Chaim

Apples and honey aren't just for dipping. A honey spirit at kiddush club or after the meal keeps the theme going:

Jim Beam Honey (750ml): $24.99
Smooth bourbon liqueur with real honey: the crowd favorite.

Wild Turkey American Honey (750ml): $24.99
Richer and a touch bolder; excellent over one big ice cube.

Evan Williams Honey Bourbon Liqueur (750ml): $19.99
The value pick: sweet, easy, and under $20.

Something Different: An Israeli L'Chaim

Tubi 60 Original (750ml): $34.99
Israel's cult lemon-herb spirit. Serve it ice-cold as a shot before the meal: a modern Israeli tradition your guests will remember.

A Quick Word on Mevushal

Several picks above are mevushal, meaning the wine was flash-pasteurized and remains kosher even if handled by someone who is not Jewish: useful for catered meals or hired help. For how this applies at your own table, ask your rov.
