Comentario sobre Berajot 8:1
אֵלּוּ דְבָרִים שֶׁבֵּין בֵּית שַׁמַּאי וּבֵית הִלֵּל בַּסְּעֻדָּה. בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, מְבָרֵךְ עַל הַיּוֹם וְאַחַר כָּךְ מְבָרֵךְ עַל הַיַּיִן. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, מְבָרֵךְ עַל הַיַּיִן וְאַחַר כָּךְ מְבָרֵךְ עַל הַיּוֹם:

Y así como el día es el primero en su advenimiento, así es primero para bendecir.] Y Beth Hillel dice: Uno bendice el vino [primero] y luego bendice el día. [Y lo mismo es cierto para alguien que hace kidush sobre el pan, ya que es el vino o el pan el que produce el kidush del día, ya que no hay kidush en ausencia de vino o pan.]

The first mishnah contains a well-known debate over the blessings made during Kiddush on Friday evening or the eve of festivals.
Bet Shammai and Bet Hillel debate the order of the blessings recited at Kiddush. Bet Shammai says that we first recite the blessing over the day. This blessing is “Who sanctifies Israel and the festivals.” Afterwards we recite the blessing over the wine, “Who creates the fruit of the vine.” The reasoning for this is that according to Bet Shammai the day causes the wine to be drunk. Bet Hillel says that the wine is blessed first. There are two reasons for this. First of all, the presence of the wine allows us to recite the blessing over the day. Secondly, the blessing over the wine is a commonly recited blessing whereas the blessing over the day is rare. The rule is that common things are recited before uncommon things. The order which we follow today is, as is almost always the case, according to Bet Hillel
