Kosher Wine – Production

Question

When making wine what can a non observant Jew help with if he is the one teaching. For example can he show me how to crush the grapes by hand?

Thanks

    A non-religious Jew can show how to crush the grapes but any juice that is produced cannot be drunk. That means that anything that the non-religious Jew is doing simply to show others how to produce juice and turn it into wine is absolutely permissible but the end result is forbidden for consumption.
