340. Brandy

47:11 Brandy made from non-Jewish wine, or from seeds, skins and dregs of non-Jewish wine, is the same as wine itself in regards to these laws. However, if kosher wine turned into brandy, being handled by a non-Jew does not render it prohibited. 47:12 Tartaric acid – one of the primary components of wine – is generally treated as permissible vis-à-vis these laws because it is highly acidic and not remotely desirable to eat.
