# if someone is not sure whether or not he will have wine available for havdalah, he should listen to the cantor recite havdalah in the synagogue, but eh should stipulate in his mind that he wishes to fulfill his obligation only if he has no wine at home, but that if he does find wine at home he does not wish to fulfill his obligation in the synagogue. Then, if he finds that there is wine available at home, he may recite havdalah for himself in accordance with the condition he made. <ref> Yalkut Yosef, Siman 295, Halacha 4 </ref> | # if someone is not sure whether or not he will have wine available for havdalah, he should listen to the cantor recite havdalah in the synagogue, but eh should stipulate in his mind that he wishes to fulfill his obligation only if he has no wine at home, but that if he does find wine at home he does not wish to fulfill his obligation in the synagogue.

# If one doesn't have wine, one should use Chamar Medina, such as beer or cognac, but one may not use soda, coffee, tea, orange juice, lemonade, or water for Havdalah.<ref>S"A 296:2 writes that one may make Havdalah on beer if it is Chamar Medina or other drinks besides for water. Birkei Yosef 296:3 clarifies that the Shulchan Aruch's language of "or other drinks" didn't mean to include milk and oil, but rather he meant other types of Chamar Medina and exclude water even if the people of the town only drink water. Sh"t Igrot Moshe 2:75 rules that soda is just like water, isn't Chamar Medina, and thus, can not be used for Havdalah. Sh"t Vayan Avraham (Izrael) Siman 34 (pg 63) writes that he remembers in the holocaust the question arose whether lemonade could be used for Havdalah and he concludes that it just like water and can’t be used for Havdalah. Yalkut Yosef 296:8 writes that one may not use coffee, tea, orange juice, or soda for Havdalah, but one if there's no wine in the city, one may use beer or cognac which are considered Chamar Medina.</ref> | |||
