See 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 people have to drink a sip of wine, however, one needs to have a Reviyit or at least a majority of a Reviyit. </ref> | ||
# According to Sephardim one should preferably have an entire Reviyit which is 2.86 oz (81 grams) , however if that's difficult one may just have majority of a Reviyit which is 1.44 oz (41 grams). <ref> Chazon Ovadyah (pg 16) </ref> | # According to Sephardim one should preferably have an entire Reviyit which is 2.86 oz (81 grams) , however if that's difficult one may just have majority of a Reviyit which is 1.44 oz (41 grams). <ref> Chazon Ovadyah (pg 16) </ref> | ||
# According to Ashkenazim one should preferably have an entire Reviyit which is 3 oz (85 grams), however if that's difficult one may just have majority of a Reviyit which is 1.51 oz (43 grams). <ref> Halachos of Pesach (Rabbi Shimon Eider, Chapter 20, Sec D 5, pg 228-230) writes that since the four cups are Derabbanan one may have the smaller measurement which is measuring by eggs and not by thumbs and according to his calculation a Reviyit should be 3 oz and if one is unable to have a Reviyit one fulfills one's obligation with a majority of a Reviyit. The Laws of Pesach by Rabbi Blumenkrantz (5771 pg 111) writes that since the four cups are Derabbanan one may use a cup that holds 2.9 oz. See also Weekly Halacha (by Rabbi Neustadt, http://www.torah.org/advanced/weekly-halacha/5760/tazria.html) who writes that one may rely on the view of Rav Chaim Noeh who holds that 3 oz is sufficient being that the cups of wine are Derabbanan.
