Royal Wine Corporation is a leader in the kosher wine and beverage industry. Certified kosher, all Royal products are prepared in adherence to the highest standards of purity.

“The company was growing, and our 15-year-old filtration system couldn’t keep up with our production requirements,” explains Eli Herzog, vice president in charge of production at Royal Wine Corporation. “No matter what we did or how hard we tried, it would not perform.
