Question

What kind of wine was used and is used for the Passover? Fermented or unfermented? Can you give me the names of any books which will give documentation on this? At what hour was the lamb slain on the 14th day of Nisan? At what hour was the lamb partaken of?

Answer

Both fermented wine and unfermented wine is permissible, as documented in the "Code of Jewish Law" O.C. 472:10; MB 37.

The Passover offering wsa eaten on the first evening of Passover, till midnight - Talmud Pesachim 119-121; Zevachim 56b.

With blessings from Jerusalem,
