Hanukkah:
The Maccabees successfully rebelled against Syria, so pure olive oil was needed for the menorah in the Temple, which was required to burn throughout the night every night. The story goes that one flask was found with only enough oil to burn for one day, yet it burned for eight days, the time needed to prepare a fresh supply of kosher oil for the menorah. An eight-day festival was declared by the Jewish ancestors to commemorate this miracle. Hanukkah began to be popularized in the American Jewish community in the mid- nineteenth century, as Jewish groups looked for ways to adapt to American life, because they could celebrate Hanukkah in place of Christmas which occurs at around the same time. Gift giving is given during all 8 days which can include giving Wine & Spirits as gifts.
