Q. Kavod Harav, I made a bracha on chocolate and had in front of me prune juice. However, I mistakenly thought the prune juice is grape juice until I picked it up to make a bracha. Does it require a bracha even though it was in front of me since it is as if I had intent not to include it since I was mistaken about its identity.

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if you had in mind to eat more of the food that requires a shehakol brocho, you don’t have to make a brocho on it, since after the fact the shehakol brocho also exempts all liquors you wanted to consume or foods to eat including wine.
