Question
During the Nine Days at Havdalah, if during the blessing 'Hagafen' it was intended for the young son to drink, but at the end of Havdalah the child refused to drink, can the adult drink?
Answer
One must recite the blessing 'Hagafen' again since there was no intention to drink at all. However, if he planned to taste something, he may drink everything without reciting 'Hagafen'.
