Question
I want to drink wine for the four cups, but I find it difficult to drink regular wine. Is it possible to use Muscat or mix soda or orange juice with the wine?
Answer
Hello,
Muscat wine, light wine, and sparkling wine contain a small amount of alcohol and make it easier to fulfill the mitzvah of the four cups.
It is not permissible to dilute the wine with other beverages, such as orange juice and other drinks.
Dilution with water is allowed in principle up to five parts water to one part wine, but in our times, one should be cautious that it may not be possible to dilute with much water, as the taste of the wine may not be strong enough and could easily be nullified by the abundance of water.
