What is the status of raisin-soaked water — is it wine or fruit juice?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that raisin-soaked water with raisins still mixed in receives Shehakol. But if the water is drawn off and separated from the raisins, it becomes wine and receives HaGafen, provided the raisins still had enough moisture that stomping would have released juice.
