While it is a good idea to prepare in advance it is permitted to measure the matzah or wine on Pesach itself. Even though usually it is forbidden to measure on Yom Tov for the purpose of a mitzvah it is permitted.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 306:7, Yechava Daat 1:16, Halichot Shlomo p. 209</ref> | |||

# The cup of wine must be filled with a [[Revi'it]] of wine and one must drink a full [[Revi'it]] or at least majority of a [[Reviyit]]. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 472:9. | # The cup of wine must be filled with a [[Revi'it]] of wine and one must drink a full [[Revi'it]] or at least majority of a [[Reviyit]]. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 472:9. Rav Schachter at [http://www.ou.org/torah/article/oukosher_pre-pesach_webcast_5770 OU Pre-Pesach Webcast 5770] between minutes 93 and 94 says that people have the misconception that one only has to drink a sip of wine, however, in reality, one needs to have a [[Reviyit]] or at least a majority of a [[Reviyit]]. </ref> | ||
# If the cup holds more than a [[Revi'it]], one can fulfill one's obligation by only drinking one [[Revi'it]]. However, because some hold that one should drink the entire cup, if one plans on only drinking a [[Revi'it]] one should use a cup that only holds a [[Revi'it]]. Additionally, if a cup holds a number of Revi'iyot, many people can drink from the same cup as long as there is a [[Revi'it]] for each person. <ref> | # If the cup holds more than a [[Revi'it]], one can fulfill one's obligation by only drinking one [[Revi'it]].

* Beit Yosef 472:9 quotes the Kol Bo and Orchot Chaim, who say that if a cup holds many Reviyot, one still has to drink only a Revi’it. The Ramban, however, argues that one must drink majority of the cup even if it is larger than a Revi’it. Although S”A 472:9 rules like the Kol Bo, if one doesn’t plan on drinking a lot, Mishna Brurah 472:33 advises having a cup that holds only a Revi’it in order to satisfy the opinion of the Ramban. </ref> | * Beit Yosef 472:9 quotes the Kol Bo and Orchot Chaim, who say that if a cup holds many Reviyot, one still has to drink only a Revi’it.
