What is the reason that we can’t have wine on the 9 days?

Because of the destruction of our Beis Hamikdash

Yes I understand that, but why wine and nothing else.

Wine makes you happy. Apple juice doesn’t.

Is there an issue with non-grape derived alcohol on the 9 days, such as tequila and vodka?

VICKIH22 · August 13, 2019, 2:42am

What about vodka, tequila etc?

Only wine from grapes is an issue during the 9 days.

Who determined that? What’s the primary source?

Who determined that wine is forbidden from Rosh Hodesh Av?
