Nshei Chabad Newsletter / During the Nine Days, we do not drink wine except on Shabbos. On Motzoei Shabbos during the Nine Days, if a child who reached the age of chinuch is available to drink the Havdoloh wine, the child should drink it; otherwise, the one saying Havdoloh may drink it (Kitzur Shulchan Oruch, Ch. 122, Par. 8; AlterRebbe'ss Shulchan Oruch, Ch. 190, Par. 4).
