Hello,
Due to a rabbinic prohibition intended to encourage intramarriage by limiting Jews' ability to socialize with non-Jews, wine which is handled by people who are not Jewish is not kosher. However, due to reasons beyond the scope of this email, wine which was heated to a certain level before any prohibited contact does not lose its kosher status; this wine is called "yayin mevushal".
The temperature wine must reach in order to be termed mevushal is the one termed yad soledet bo, which is certainly achieved by 175 degrees Fahrenheit. For those who require that the heating process diminish the volume of wine, this is certainly achieved at that temperature.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Yoreh Deah 2:52)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Gloves and Non-mevushal Wine
Hi,
Due to a rabbinic prohibition intended to encourage intramarriage by limiting Jews' ability to socialize with non-Jews, wine which is handled by people who are not Jewish is not kosher. However, due to reasons beyond the scope of this email, wine which has been boiled does not lose its kosher status; this wine is called "yayin mevushal".
Wearing gloves does not help regarding handling wine which is not mevushal.

Mevushal grape juice
Hi,
[Due to a rabbinic prohibition intended to encourage intramarriage by limiting Jews' ability to socialize with non-Jews, wine which is handled by people who are not Jewish is not kosher. However, due to reasons beyond the scope of this email, wine which has been boiled does not lose its kosher status; this wine is called "yayin mevushal".]
The rules of wine apply to grape juice, despite its lack of alcohol. Therefore, grape juice becomes non-kosher if handled by non-Jews. However, grape juice is often produced by boiling the grapes before juicing them; in such a case, the grape juice is considered "mevushal".
