סימן עז סעיף ה
יַיִן שֶׁנִּתְחַמֵּץ, אֵין מְקַדְּשִׁין עָלָיו. וְכֵן יַיִן שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ רֵיחַ רָע, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁלֹּא נִתְחַמֵּץ, אֶלָּא רֵיחוֹ וְטַעֲמוֹ יַיִן, שֶׁמְבָרְכִין עָלָיו בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן, רַק שֶׁמַּסְרִיחַ קְצָת מֵחֲמַת שֶׁהָיָה בִּכְלִי מָאוּס, וְכֵן אִם הוּא מֵרִיחַ אַחַר הֶחָבִית (תוספת שַׁבָּת בשם ש"א) אֵין מְקַדְּשִׁין עָלָיו. וְכֵן יַיִן שֶׁעָמַד מְגֻלֶּה אֵיזֶה שָׁעוֹת (אַף עַל גַב דְּהָאִידְנָא לָא קָפְּדֵינָן אַגִלּוּי), אֵין מְקַדְּשִׁין עָלָיו מִשּׁוּם הַקְרִיבֵהוּ נָא לְפֶחָתֶךָ הֲיִרְצְךָ אוֹ הֲיִשָּׂא פָּנֶיךָ. יַיִן שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ קְמָחִין, יֵשׁ לְסַנְּנוֹ. וְאִם אִי אֶפְשָׁר לְסַנְּנוֹ, מְקַדְּשִׁין עָלָיו כָּךְ. אֲבָל אִם יֵשׁ עָלָיו קְרוּם לָבָן, אֵין מְקַדְּשִׁין עָלָיו דְּמִסְּתָמָא פָּג טַעֲמוֹ.
Wine that turned sour should not be used for kiddush.25This applies to the case where it is so sour that people refrain from drinking it [Magein Avraham 272: 3]. This law also applies to wine that has a bad odor, even though it has not turned sour. If its odor and taste is that of wine over which the berachah Borei peri hagafen is said, but it has a slightly disagreeable odor because it was kept in a filthy barrel, or it has the same odor as the barrel,26Shaarei Efraim. it should not be used for kiddush. Similarly, wine that remained uncovered for several hours, (even though nowadays we are not strict27For there is no likelihood that a poisonous snake might have drunk from it. about this) should not be used for kiddush,28See Magein Avraham 272: 1. If it remained uncovered only a short time it might be used since wine was hard to come by (in those times) and also connoisseurs are not particular about it either. See Chayei Adam 6: 7. [as the Prophet says]: "If you offer it now to your governor, will he be pleased with you, or show you favor?"29Malachi 1: 8. Since it is not good enough for a human ruler, it certainly is unsatisfactory for service to Hashem. If the wine is powdery30Not in all editions. it should be strained, and if it can not be strained, it may be used for kiddush as is.31Shulchan Aruch Harav 272: 3, but others hold that it cannot be used. [Derech Hachaim]. But if there is a white film on it, it should not be used for kiddush, because presumably it has lost its flavor.32Shulchan Aruch Harav.
