Question
Is it permissible to initially make Kiddush in the morning on beer or whiskey?
Answer
In our times, it is unclear what qualifies as Chamar Medina and what it is, so Kiddush should be made on grape juice or wine. Additionally, even if whiskey is considered Chamar Medina, one must drink a revi'it, and it is not sufficient to make Kiddush on a small shot glass. Furthermore, even if something is definitely Chamar Medina, it is more preferable to make Kiddush on wine.
