Question
Should one recite the Shehechiyanu blessing on new grape juice?
Answer
According to the basic law, when drinking grape juice from new grapes, if one has not recited a blessing on the grapes, one should bless the grape juice. However, if one has blessed the grapes, the wine is exempted by another fruit or new garment. However, in our times, one does not recite the Shehechiyanu blessing on grape juice at all, as its novelty is not apparent in grape juice (this ruling applies to grape juice without preservatives).
