How to “fix” the Kiddush wine prior to distribution to the listeners. In this first part we will introduce the issues at hand that need to be circumvented when distributing the wine. We discuss if there is a need for the listeners to drink the kiddush wine, and the concept of the person making kiddush as well as the listeners drinking unblemished, and as to the definition of blemished versus unblemished wine. In the next part on this series IYH we will tackle the various methods of wine distribution after kiddush and which ones are Halachically preferable versus those that are negated or only Bedieved.
