Question
If someone does not have wine for the morning Kiddush but expects to receive wine later on Shabbat and is currently hungry, what should they do?
Answer
One may make Kiddush over bread, and if there is no bread but there is cooked food or fruit, one may eat now and is not required to wait. Only for the Friday night Kiddush is it necessary to wait.
