Water and wine

Hi,

One who drinks wine as well as water (or any other beverage) recites the closing berachah acharonah blessing appropriate for the wine, and that includes the water automatically.

This assumes that the water was present when the opening berachah was recited on the wine, or that the wine was a central component of one's meal. If the wine was only incidental, and the water was not present when the opening berachah was recited for the wine, then one recites a separate berachah acharonah for the water.

(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 208:16; Mishneh Berurah 208:72)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
