Said wrong Bracha Rishona on wine – Law of Bedieved

Said wrong Bracha Rishona on wine– Law of Bedieved:[1]

Said Hamotzi on wine:[2] If one accidentally recited the blessing of Hamotzi on Hagafen wine or grape juice, then one does not fulfill his obligation and must repeat the correct blessing of Hagafen.[3] [Hence one is to immediately say Baruch Sheim Kevod Malchuso Leolam Vaed and then recite the correct blessing on the food. If one corrected himself within Kdei Dibbur then he is Yotzei as explained in Chapter ?? Halacha 17??.]

Said Mezonos on wine: :[4] If one accidentally recited the blessing of Mezonos on Hagafen wine or grape juice, then according to the simple understanding of the Poskim[5], one does not fulfill his obligation and must repeat the correct blessing of Hagafen.[6][7] However, some Poskim[8] rule that by wine and dates, one fulfills his obligation Bedieved if he said the blessing of Mezonos. Furthermore, there are Poskim[9] who are of the opinion that the blessing of Mezonos Bedieved covers all food and satiating beverages [i.e. wine, juice, milk] similar to the blessing of Shehakol, with the exception to water and salt [and all water-based beverages[10]], by which one does not fulfill his obligation with the blessing of Mezonos.[11] [Some Poskim[12] conclude based on this that in the event that one accidentally recited a blessing of Mezonos he should eat a small amount, and then go outside or inside to make a Hefsek, and then say the correct blessing prior to continuing eating. Practically, however, according to Admur the main position follows not to suspect for the above opinion and hence one is to immediately say Baruch Sheim Kevod Malchuso Leolam Vaed and then recite the correct blessing on the food.[13] However, many suspect for the lenient opinion as Safek Brachos Lihakel. If one corrected himself within Kdei Dibbur then he is Yotzei as explained in Halacha 17??.]

Said Haeitz on wine:[14] Some Poskim[15] rule that if one recited the blessing of Haeitz on wine instead of the blessing of Hagafen, then he does not fulfill his obligation and must repeat the correct blessing of Hagafen. Other Poskim[16], however, rule that one does fulfill his obligation Bedieved if he said the blessing of Haeitz over wine. [Practically, Safek Brachos Lihakel and the blessing is not to be repeated.[17] However, if one remembers his mistake within Kdei Dibbur, then one is to initially correct himself and conclude with the words Borei Peri Hagafen.[18] Likewise, some Poskim[19] write that he should only drink a small amount of wine, and then go outside or inside to make a Hefsek, and then say the correct blessing prior to continuing eating.]  

Said Ha’adama on wine:[20] Some Poskim[21] rule that if one recited the blessing of Ha’adama on wine instead of the blessing of Hagafen, then he does not fulfill his obligation and must repeat the correct blessing of Hagafen. Other Poskim[22], however, rule that one does fulfill his obligation Bedieved if he said the blessing of Ha’adama over wine. [Practically, Safek Brachos Lihakel and the blessing is not to be repeated.[23] However, if one remembers his mistake within Kdei Dibbur, then one is to initially correct himself and conclude with the words Borei Peri Hagafen.[24] Likewise, some Poskim[25] write that he should only drink a small amount of wine, and then go outside or inside to make a Hefsek, and then say the correct blessing prior to continuing eating.]

Said Shehakol on wine:[26] If one recited the blessing of Shehakol on a Hagafen beverage he fulfills his obligation and is not to repeat the blessing.

  Wine
Hamotzi X
Mezonos X*
Hagafen  
Haeitz +  SBL
Ha’adama +  SBL
Shehakol +

+ Yotzei Bedieved

+ SBL = Yotzei because of Machlokes and Safek Brachos Lihakel, although best to circumvent Machlokes.

X    Not Yotzei. Must Repeat Bracha

X*  Machlokes, but we conclude that one is Not Yotzei. Must Repeat Bracha

Other Opinions: Some Poskim rule that the blessing of Hamotzi never covers Mezonos, even by Pas Haba Bekisnin, and hence the blessing of Mezonos is still required to be recited. The proof is from the fact that regarding those breads which are disputed whether they are Hamotzi or Mezonos it is ruled that Mezonos is to be recited. This implies that if one were to recite Hamotzi then he would not fulfill his obligation according to the opinion which requires Mezonos to be said. [Elya Raba 168:20; Igros Moshe O.C. 2:54 unlike Igros Moshe Y.D. 3:120 -2]

[3] The reason: As it appears like a clear lie to say “Hamotzi” over this food when in truth it has no resemblance of bread. [Chayeh Adam ibid]

[4] See Kaf Hachaim 202:9; Piskeiy Teshuvos 206:3; Halacha Berura 206:7

[5] Setimas Kol Haposkim who only record that the blessing of Shehakol covers all foods Bedieved; Implication of Admur in Seder Admur 1:3 and Admur 168:12 that the dispute and discussion of Mezonos being Motzi another food is only by bread or Safek bread, and not by anything else; Implication of Admur in Seder 1:10 regarding rice that he does not suggest to say Mezonos and only suggests saying Shehakol; All Poskim who rule that one is not Yotzei Mezonos over bread being that only Shehakol is Motzi other foods and the same would certainly apply to other foods that one is not Yotzei: Teshuvas Beis Yehuda Ayash O.C. 41; Birkeiy Yosef 167:10; Nehar Shalom; Hagahos Rav Akiva Eiger on Gemara Brachos 36b

[11] The reason: As all foods are considered Mazon as proven from the Talmudic ruling [Eiruvin 26] which states that one who vows not to eat Mazon is prohibited from eating anything except for water and salt. [Chayeh Adam ibid]

[13] As stated from the previous footnotes, so is evident from the glaring omission of this possibility from all the laws of Safek brought in Admur, and so is evident from its omission from the Ketzos Hashulchan.
