Farbrengen Kosher
New York Concord kosher wine, sweet, light, and built for the table.
The story behind Farbrengen
Farbrengen comes out of the Joseph Zakon Winery, a New York operation founded in 1981 by winemaker Joseph Zakon and his wife Michelle. The label borrows its name from the Yiddish word for a joyous gathering, which tells you what these bottles are for: holidays, kiddush, a table full of people. The grapes are New York grown, Concord plus French-American hybrids like Rougeon, and every step of handling and fermentation is done by observant Jewish workers under OU, OK, and Rabbi Hillel Weinberger supervision.
Royal Wine Corp handles distribution. We have poured the Farbrengen line in Commack for years because it does one job honestly: certified kosher, Kosher for Passover, and priced where a family can put wine on the table without thinking twice.

Which Farbrengen is right for you?
Every 750mL bottle in the Farbrengen lineup is $6.99 here, Harmony, Light Concord, Light Red Concord, Melody, and Symphony alike. That is the whole point of the label: certified kosher wine at a price that lets you buy a case for a holiday table instead of a single bottle. Magnums of the line generally land in the $10 to $18 range elsewhere, so ask us at the counter what we have on the shelf that week. Stock on these moves fast around Passover and the fall holidays, so call ahead or check availability before you drive over.
Low alcohol, sweet, and certified Kosher for Passover, so the whole table can pour.
Four percent ABV and a light Concord body, easy with dinner and no heavy finish.
Semi-dry French hybrid at 12%, the least sweet bottle Farbrengen makes.
