Passover wine
Exodus meal libation
Wine used during the Passover seder, the ritual meal commemorating the Israelites' exodus from Egypt.
Jewish tradition requires drinking four cups of wine at specific points in the ceremony.
Passover wine must be kosher for Passover—made under rabbinical supervision without contact with leavened grain.
Sweet kosher wines like Manischewitz became iconic, though dry varieties are equally traditional.
