Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 474 — English translation
Translation: Sefaria Community Translation. Section numbers match the Hebrew text above.
- 1Regarding the second cup, one does not recite blessings. Containing 1 section. Drink the second cup and do not make a first berakha nor an after-berakha over it, for we only say "Bore Peri Hagefen" over the cup of Kidush and the cup of Birkat Hamazon, and we only say "Al Hagefen" after the fourth cup. The Ashkenazic custom is to say a first berakha over every cup, but we only say an after-berakha after the last cup, and this is the thought of most Geonim.

על כוס שני אין מברכין. ובו סעיף אחד:
שותה כוס שני ואין מברך עליו לא ברכה ראשונה ולא ברכה אחרונה שאין מברכין בורא פרי הגפן כי אם על כוס של קידוש ועל כוס של ברכת המזון ואין מברכין על הגפן כי אם אחר כוס רביעי: הגה והמנהג בין האשכנזים לברך ברכה ראשונה על כל כוס וכוס אבל ברכה אחרונה אין מברכין רק אחר האחרון לבד וכן דעת רוב הגאונים:
