Percentage of wineries in Israel that are considered kosher according to the 2019 Asian Wine Review. Israel, with over 300 wineries, produces over 79 million gallons of wine annually, with the most premium wines coming from the Galilee region in the north. Among the key grape varieties: cabernet sauvignon and colombard.

The British term claret (to refer to a Bordeaux wine) comes from a medieval French name for the cabernet sauvignon grape.

Answer: False.

The British word claret comes from the French clairet, referring to a light red wine. Historically, the British used the term to distinguish Bordeaux wine from Port which of course was usually much darker in color. And in any case, the term could probably not refer to a medieval French name for cabernet sauvignon since cabernet sauvignon is not thought to have existed before the beginning of the 16th century.
