This is very cute, but it would be improved if you could press a "CC" button, and get closed captions in whatever language you need. You would need a gear button too, so people could choose their preferred language if it's not in the language of the video. I use captions because it's hard for me to follow along. I did not catch all the words in the video. Each time I watch it, I pick up more words. But with captions, I can see it once, rather than twice or three times or more. Reply

This family seemes used to having inanimate objects suddenly become animated on their tables.

They also seem used to being in endless documentary videos! Reply

nice, but its great video, cute, motivating to watch, but its a bit basic and simple. Maybe some more deep insights, even for kids. Reply

There are other reasons as well. While the fact that wine is intoxicating is one special aspect of wine, it is not the sole factor. After all, one may recite kiddush on grape juice as well.
Wine has always been associated with celebration. In fact, we poured wine on the altar in the Temple in Jerusalem.
Incidentally, there are some who do use scotch for the daytime kiddush. Ask your rabbi what he thinks about it. Reply

Really?!?! We drink wine for kiddush because it makes us feel giddy and happy? That's the only explanation? If that's the case, then why not drink Scotch (my drink of choice) instead? Reply
