Kiddush with Defective Wine

Question

I returned the wine left from Kiddush to the bottle without first pouring wine into the cup. Is there a problem using this wine for Kiddush?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

When returning the wine to the bottle, the wine in the bottle is not considered defective after the fact, as all wine that enters the bottle is nullified by the wine already there.

However, initially, one should rectify the wine in the cup by pouring from the bottle into the cup.
