Why is it that the wine of the
Havdala ceremony is not con-
sunned after making a benedic-
tion over the wine; but rather
after the liturgy of the Havdala
ceremony has been completed?

The same situation occurs dur-
ing the recital of kidush as well
at the benedictions pronounced
under the wedding canopy. The
reason for this practice is the fact
that the respective benedictions
offered on each of these three oc-
casions are related to the cup of
wine. This is why the wine is held
in one's hand while the other ben.
edictions are being pronounced.
Were one to have drunk the wine
after pronouncing the benediction
over the wine, one would have no
wine left to relate to the other
benedictions. Relating the wine to
these benedictions is like having
the libation of wine accompany
the sacrifices in the temple of old.
