Question: How much wine must one drink from the Kiddush on Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
The one reciting Kiddush must drink an amount of wine equal to “melo lugmav” (a cheek-full), which in contemporary measurements is approximately 45 cc.
It is customary that those who hear the Kiddush also taste from the wine of the Kiddush cup, but they do not need to drink this full amount; it is sufficient for them to taste a little.
