Liturgy for Pesachim 10:2

מָזְגוּ לוֹ כוֹס רִאשׁוֹן, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, מְבָרֵךְ עַל הַיּוֹם, וְאַחַר כָּךְ מְבָרֵךְ עַל הַיָּיִן. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, מְבָרֵךְ עַל הַיַּיִן, וְאַחַר כָּךְ מְבָרֵךְ עַל הַיּוֹם:

They poured the first cup for him. Beth Shammai say: He first blesses over the day [the kiddush of the day] and then over the wine ["bori p'ri hagafen"]. For first comes the sanctification of the day, and then, the wine. And just as its entry precedes, so does its blessing.] And Beth Hillel say: First he blesses over the wine, and then he blesses over the day. [The same holds for one who makes kiddush on a loaf (instead of on wine). For it is the wine or the loaf that occasion the kiddush of the day, there being no kiddush in the absence of wine or loaf.]
