If one has wine on Friday night, should one make Kiddush before Shabbat rather than risk having no wine on Shabbat itself?
Synopsis
The Magen Avraham cites a Gaonic ruling that if one has wine on Friday but knows wine will be unavailable on Shabbat (e.g., cannot transport it home), one should make Kiddush before Shabbat on the wine and drink it, after which one may not do further melakha.
