There's no other wine that elicits the same reaction upon hearing its name as Manischewitz (and from just about everyone). A mixture of love, disgust and nostalgia creates a mixed reaction to this ultra sweet and super cheap red wine. Despite its less-favorable flavor to many other kosher wines on the market, it's a traditional choice that often holds a place on Shabbat and Jewish holidays.
Manischewitz's overly sweet flavor is a result of the traits of the Concord grape, the only locally grown grape at the time (http://modernfarmer.com/2014/09/manischewitz-great-story-great-wine/) when Jewish immigration from Eastern Europe to East Coast cities was at a peak. Because this hearty grape, which is also used to make juice, is so sour it requires a lot of sugar to counterbalance the flavor. But that doesn't mean you have to suffer through a glass of the stuff straight. Instead, use its sweet, fruity flavor to make awesome cocktails.
We've got three ideas to get you started.
