I would think someone being described as kashrus savvy would tell you he would value reality over perception.

I'm any case, you can count me in as interested. Do you know of anyyhing in particular that would make the OUs supervision on wines sub par or are you stam saying "if ur frum don't eat ou".
Well considering that OU Shechita doesn't exist

Shechita is basically the domain of the head mashgiach of the plant who needs to be approved by all certifications

David Elliot. Although it does also have B"D of Crown Heights, to people outside the lubavitch community it would classify as an OU shecihtah

Wine and shechita require a much higher level of supervision and involve much more complicated sheilos than potato chips ketchup or pickles. They also require constant supervision. While many would trust the ou for basic hashgacha they would not want to rely on them for more complicated products. (catering and restaurants might go into this category as well).

Regarding wine and grape juice the halacha is if a goy touches the wine before it is cooked it is not kosher. This present great difficulties or necessitates relying on halachic workarounds which may not be agreed upon by all. Obviously if it an exclusively jewish operation this isn't an issue but with many of the ou certified products that is not the case.

Explain why wine is so complex. If an operation is minimally organized it shouldn't be complicated, especially in Israel, where most of OU certified wine is from.

This sounds very much like perception over reality. Is a wine production where you have numerous tmidis and may even be 100% supervised and then seal it up until bottling really more complicated than a plant that can have numerous ingredients of varying levels of kashrus being used on a daily basis? The typical feeling though, is that the more complex of a system that is needed the more important it is to have a large organized supervision like the OU. The shortcoming is that there may be some kulos that they rely on that others will not. This absolutely can be the case on a product by product basis.

numerous tmidis and 100% supervised sounds complicated to me. plants with numerous ingredients are not that complicated to supervise if you have a proper system in place. Ensuring no goy touches anything from pressing till bottling (or more accurately cooking/pasteurizing) is complicated. That's besides the kulos that may be relied upon.

This is the reality not perception.

Numerous tmidis is the simplest possible solution for any supervision

The difference between what you call reality and what @aygart calls perception might be semantics.

Again, can you point to specific Kula that OU relies upon?
Of course it’s complicated, but what makes you say the OU relies on Kulos in this case?
Sounds like you’re saying “the OU is not a heimish hecsher so they must be using kilos”.

My main concern is the level of supervision necessary not the kulos that may be used. As far as what kulos, find out what they are doing in regard to considering the products mevushal.
