Question
What foods are allow and prohibited in Judaism ?

Is Vine  banned in Judaism ?

Answer
For foods allowed and forbidden, go to
www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Kashrut
Wine
A related subject is the kashrut of wine. The Talmud mentions the law that wine handled by non-Jews (stam yayin) and by idolators (yayin nesech) is forbidden for consumption. The main reason for the former is to limit intermarriage by limiting social interaction with non-Jews. The latter is forbidden because any form of food possibly dedicated to an idol is forbidden for any form of benefit.

These laws refer only to wine and wine-derived products (e.g. cognac). Spirits and beer fall outside the scope of this prohibition.
