popa: Thanks.
Mechaber — He is your strongest rayah since he quotes straight from the gemara (rif) rather than Rambam who does say wine.
Rema — True, he doesn’t mention wine, but he does mention a heter that was apparently not niskabel by bnei Torah. ????? ??????? ??? ??????? 😉
M”B — Brings Rema’s heter
Chayei Adam — By saying so he strongly implies the ikkar mitzva is with wine. Wine always means grape wine unless otherwise specified.
No time to look up the rest, I don’t have a bar Ilan. Though I know a guy named Ilan who works near a bar…
Thank you again for your kanaus on behalf of this most important mitzva 😛
