As I pointed out. Also the non-lite has water added (INGREDIENTS: GRAPE JUICE, JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE...). IINM only the glass bottles have no water whatsoever (and is not Mevushal) which is why I give that one at the Seder to my kids that don't drink wine.
Granted there is concentrate but the light lists plain water in addition. IINM that is the singular difference between regular and light, the water added.

-1. As per Kedem, they use a more sour grape for the light and then they add more water. The rational is that more water is necessary to get its ideal taste (due to its sourness) and the added water is considered "limashviach taamo".

Very interesting, I’ve not heard this before. Where can I see this information?

Grape concentrate added does not mean that it has water. It means that they sweetened it for consistency but in order to avoid adding sugar they used concentrate.

But there still seems to be some disagreement as to it’s Halachic status

Is "juice from concentrate" the same as "grape concentrate"?

I read "juice from concentrate" to be reconstituted juice.

Why would they do this differently in the plastic bottles than they do in the glass bottles?

Simple. You take the blue or green milk, remove the white color. Then add the water you got as a result to some grape juice concentrate, and VOILA! You've got grape juice!

There is a story of (I think) the Chozeh of Lublin and somebody making kiddush on milk..

Is there a separate WIC thread?
When it says kosher cheese can it be any or only specific cheese?

A little off topic, does anyone know a food bank in Flatbush where i can drop off sealed food (and plenty of milk) the schools are being super generous but like mentioned above some of us have gallons of extra milk.

To use up the milk:

Chocolate Pudding 

Mix all these together in a pot:

5 Tablespoons cocoa
6 Tablespoons sugar
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt

Slowly stir in:

2 cups milk (red, green, blue... whatever you want to use up)

Cook over medium heat, stirring all the time so it doesn't stick and burn on the bottom.  When large bubbles break on the surface, let it boil one more minute.  Take off the heat and immediately stir in:

1 teaspoon vanilla

Cool and chill in refrigerator, even though you're tempted to eat it right away, because it really tastes better when cold. 

If you don't like the "skin" on top, cover it while it cools.
If you DO like the skin, keep it uncovered while cooling and chilling.
If you LOVE the skin, pour some while hot onto a large plate, and you'll get a large plate that's almost entirely skin when it cools.

This makes about 4 adult servings.  You can easily double or triple the recipe, but I recommend trying it first this way, then adjust the recipe to your taste. 
If it's too intensely chocolaty, decrease the cocoa to 4 or even 3 T. 
If it's not sweet enough, increase the sugar to 8 or 10 T. 
If it's too thick, add 1/4 - 1/2 cup milk.

Variations:
1. Instead of vanilla, try almond or mint flavorings.
2. For a higher-fat creamy taste, stir in 1-2 Tablespoons unsalted butter at the end, together with the vanilla.
3. For reducing quarantine-induced stress, stir a little rum into the pot with the vanilla, or pour some into your own bowl just before eating.
