Comment: sometimes we are pompously told that Jews always (or nearly always) use alcohol for Passover. Well, well, it seems not!
What is sometimes called the “Feast of Unleavened Bread” is more literally the “Feast of Unleavened Things.” In Hebrew terminology, the word for leaven chametz / chometz (same consonantal word) would mean allowing no “fermented wine” (Numbers 6:3) just as it means allowing no “leavened/fermented bread”. This implies alcoholic wine should be excluded from the feast (Exodus 12)! Karaite Jews (at least) do compare Numbers 6:3 with Exodus 12 and they conclude that alcoholic wine is improper for Passover.
Yeast, fermentation, excluded from offerings on the altar (Leviticus 2:11)
Jesus no drinker at Last Supper nor at Calvary

Likewise many Jews in America also use grape juice for Passover, not alcohol
Therefore grape juice producers like Kedem and Welch’s have noticed the huge market potential – selling grape juice to Jewish buyers.
