Perhaps because it is a “Shabbos food” Can you Canine explain to me how you have defined Grape Juice as a food? This does not make sense according to rules of English language.
My father always objects to drinking grape juice during the week. Can you Canine please explain me, how your dad differentiates between the “9 Days” and other weeks of the year?
Is that an old family minhag? WolfishMusings:- Only a Minhog during the 9 days, except for Seuda Mafsekes, whereby it is MiDino of Gemorro {@end of Tractate Ta’anis}. Any other time, there is no Minhog to abstain from Grape Juice.
BTW:- For medical reasons, I can only drink wine, and absolutely cannot drink any grape juice. All my various physicians have concurred with me, and told me not to worry about wine & medicines, but just drink wine for Kiddush, Havdolo, Seder nite, Purim, and stay away from grape juice.
