Blessing over Wine for the Seder Night

Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the universe, who created the juice of wine and fine new wine from branches of grapevines, which is pleasing for the soul and good for man and which gladdens the heart and brightens the face [see Psalms 104:15].

It provides consolation to mourners [see Jeremiah 16:7] and helps the bitter of soul forget their misery. It is a cure for all who drink it, for those who drink it in proper taste and in a discerning manner. It is gladness of the heart, joy, and much delight for those who drink it. It is a substance our God created long ago; He established it ahead of time for us to enjoy in our work, so that all who drink it should bless the Lord, and praise the One who forms understanding, who prepares the delicacies of the world, and formed the sweet foods of the land. He is our Lord, who created new wine from the vine and generated juice from grapes, to satisfy the hungry soul, and fill the longing soul [see Psalms 107:9]. The heart of those who drink it will be gladdened, and they will bless their Creator for the fruit of His handiwork.

Blessed are You, Lord, the King who is alone exalted, the holy God, who creates the fruit of the vine.
