- Q. See question above. How about someone who has a Shabbos guest that visits often and usually brings as a gift a wine bottle.
On occasions he arrives late after the host made already kiddush, (there are young kids in the family).
Then he makes for himself quietly his own kiddush. He offers the others present to drink from his special gift wine bottle. Do they have to make a brocho on this new wine? After all they already said or heard Kiddush before.
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one should follow the many Poskim that rule that one does not comply with a blessing on wine that was not present in the house at the time that the brocho was recited.
