That it's not from concentrate. But they somehow still have ways to add water and trick you with that label.

My "100% pure grape juice" says in the ingredients "sweetened with grape juice concentrate"

Kedem I believe is more than 100% juice

Which is also grape juice, with the natural wager removed.
So why are ppl saying that they add water?

I'm not so sure where this is from or for what reason but my grandfather says shehakol on grape juice. If im not mistaken it has something to do with pasteurization. Have you ever seen 100% grape juice? i think its alot thicker than our standard bought one

what does pasteurization have to do with it being 100% grape juice or not?

That's radical! And flout what it says b'feirush on the label -- birkaso hagafen?! I want to meet your zeide!

BTW, semi-related, the din is that one makes shehakol on brandy even though it is made from grapes. Brandy is what you get when you distill wine into hard liquor. If I can oversimplify, brandy is to wine sort of what whiskey is to beer.

Interesting, there is a man d'amar that you make mezonos on beer. But that's another discussion.

I have seen grape juice which I squeezed myself and it was thinner not thicker. That was partially due to the type of grape.

pretty hard to get single stregnth grape juice in this country. Most of it is sweetened with grape juice concentrate which would make it stronger.

flaunting labels is not that radical...
the reason some ppl make shehakol on grape juice is on the brands which wont any more turn into wine , due to the pasteurazation.   (see shevus yitzchok.)

Flouting not flaunting. And I assume you saw my emoticon.

Rav Shlomo Zalman held that you make shehakol on grape juice

-1 definitely not.

On made from concentrate maybe. But not on 100% juice.

If you get an aliya on a Tanis, do you say the loud parts with the tzibur or with the BK or both?

For an aliyah today and was wondering the same

      Definitely not both. Otherwise, I don't think it makes a difference. The right way of having an aliyah is to really lein by yourself, and that is why you are to read along with the baal koreh during your aliyah (the reason why we take a baal koreh in the first place is to not embarrass those who can't lein on their own). So I would assume that as long as you say all the words of your kriah between the beracha rishonah and acharonah then you are yotzei, regardless of whether you said it word for word with the baal koreh or not.
Disclaimer: This is my own understanding and opinion of the situation. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Hey, this guy has a similar name to yours. Do you know him?

As heard from a veteran BK, but it's logical, you are in essence the korei (he's your shaliach) not part of the tzibur.
