If two or more people drinking wine together are presented with a different type of wine that has some advantage over the wine they were drinking, they say a special blessing: “Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, Who is good and does good (Ha-tov Ve-hametiv).” This blessing should be said on each additional type of wine they drink together, assuming it is brought to enhance their enjoyment and the original wine is still available.

    Was it good? Did you encounter an issue? Have a suggestion for improvement? We'd love to hear from you!

    The Jewish tradition with all of its mitzvot, practices, and ambitions for the perfection of the world, in the life of the individual, the family, society and the nation, in the cycle of life and the cycle of the year, on weekdays, on Sabbaths and on holidays.
