Pesakh is MONDAY NIGHT, Its time to get serious about Pesakh!

Copied from Rav Ovadia's Halacha Yomit Emails:
1. The famous order of the Seder of the eve of Pesach, Kadesh, Urchatz, Karpas, Yachatz, Magid, Rochtza, Motzi, Matzah, Maror, Korech, Shulchan Orech, Tzafun, Barech, Hallel, Nirtzah,
was established by the pious Rashi. The entire Jewish nation customarily
follows this order on the night of Pesach, as is printed in all
Machzorim and Haggadot. Thank G-d, nowadays there are many revised
editions of the “Passover Haggadah” available that clearly
spell out the proper way to conduct the entire Pesach Seder. Anyone who
is leading a Pesach Seder should be wise enough to purchase a Haggadah
compiled according to the views of the leading rabbinical authorities of
the generation.
2. The
wine upon which one blesses “Borei Peri HaGefen” during the Seder and
all year round must halachically consist of at least a majority of
actual grapes (some are more stringent and require more than this
amount). Wine that has a large amount of water, sugar,
or other vegetables mixed in it does not retain the blessing of “Borei
Peri HaGefen”, rather its blessing is “Shehakol Nihya Bidvaro”, just as
it is simple that soft drinks which contain approximately ten percent
grape juice require the “Shehakol” blessing.
Even regarding wines which are under the supervision of various
respectable Kashrut organizations, one should under no circumstances
recite the blessing of “Borei Peri HaGefen” on them, unless the wine is
known to be real wine and not fake, heavily-diluted
wine, according to the Sephardic custom based on Maran HaBet Yosef. Even
if it is printed directly on the wine bottle’s label that it is “Kosher
even according to the opinion of Maran Ha’Bet Yosef”, this should not
be relied upon, for some interpret the words
of Maran HaBet Yosef in a way that is not in accordance with the
traditional Sephardic custom, which is to recite “Borei Peri HaGefen”
only on wine which consists of mostly grapes.
