Question
Many times we want to make Kiddush before Musaf, but the problem is that we don't always have bread or baked goods. We should mention that we are in Mexico, and everything here is made from corn flour. Only for Shabbat is there special production of challot, and cakes for Kiddush are not always available.
Answer
It is possible to make Kiddush, and the one who makes Kiddush should drink a revi'it of wine besides what he tasted from the Kiddush, and in a pressing situation, it is sufficient if he drinks the entire cup of Kiddush. If the one making Kiddush is a Kohen and he is performing the Priestly Blessing [according to the Sephardic custom in that place - or on holidays], he should be careful not to drink more than a revi'it of wine, and he should add a little water to the revi'it before Kiddush. Alternatively, he can make Kiddush on grape juice.
