Regardless of the shei'ur, so this is perhaps tangential....

The AhS talks about the difficulty in obtaining real wine, the kashrus of
"wine" from soaked raisins, and thus the schnapps option.

I wonder if so many rabbeim would have insisted on making qiddush on
schnapps at all if wine were an affordable option where they lived.

Tir'u baTov!
