Hebrew Prayer For Wine
Lift the cup of wine or grape juice and recite the following: Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, boreh p’ri hagafen. Blessed are You, God, Ruler of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.
Jews traditionally recite a short blessing before eating any food, be it meal or snack. There are different blessings for different categories of food including fruits (that grow on trees), vegetables (that grow on the ground), grains, miscellaneous (foods that do not grow in soil, like dairy and meat), bread, and wine.
If one is eating a meal with many of these categories of food and it contains bread, the blessing for bread (Hamotzi) is sufficient to cover all foods consumed in that meal, with the exception of wine which always requires its own blessing. Otherwise, a varied meal can be covered by the blessing for miscellaneous foods.
