Final Blessing After Drinking Wine in Several Sips
Question
Hello and blessings,
Regarding wine and grape juice, if a person drank a reviit, he recites the final blessing of borei pri hagafen.
I wanted to ask whether I recite the final blessing also when I drank the wine in several sips? And is there any time period within which one must finish drinking a reviit in order to recite the final blessing?
I would appreciate sources according to Sephardic practice..
Thank you in advance.
Answer
Hello,
In principle, if you drank a reviit in two times, a final blessing should be recited. However, in practice, since it is not known how long one may pause between sips, one should not recite the final blessing unless you drank the reviit all at once.
