סימן עז סעיף ו
מְקַדְּשִׁין עַל יַיִן מְבֻשָּׁל וְעַל יַיִן שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ דְּבָשׁ. אַךְ יֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים, שֶׁאֵין מְקַדְּשִׁין עֲלֵיהֶם, כֵּיוָן דְּאֵינָן רְאוּיִין לַמִּזְבֵּחַ. עַל כֵּן אִם אֶפְשָׁר, יֵשׁ לְהַדֵּר אַחַר יַיִן אַחֵר (ער"ב).
Kiddush may be said on boiled wine33Yerushalmi, Rosh (Maseches Bava Basra 97a) Tur. and on wine that has honey [or sugar] in it. But there are those who say34Ritz-Gaus, Rambam (29: 14). that these should not be used for kiddush since they are not fit for use on the Altar.35The Rosh maintains that boiling improves the wine and it is therefore kosher for kiddush even though it is not fit for the altar. Rema 272: 8 upholds our custom of using it when it is superior to the other available wines. But if they are of equal quality, you should be stringent and use the non-boiled wine [Mishnah Berurah]. Therefore if possible an attempt should be made to obtain other wine.
