Question
During the Nine Days, at havdalah, when reciting the blessing of "hagafen" he had in mind that his young son would drink, but at the end of havdalah the child refused to drink. May the adult now drink?
Answer
He must recite the blessing of "hagafen" again, since he did not intend to drink at all himself. However, if he had planned to drink at least a little, he may drink all of it without reciting "hagafen" again.
