Midrash sur Berakhot 6:10

Midrash Tanchuma

And Isaac trembled very exceedingly (Gen. 27:33). May it please our master to teach us the blessing one pronounces upon tasting oil. Thus do our masters teach us: One who tastes oil should say: “Blessed be He who hath created the fruit of the tree.” R. Yosé the son of Zevid said (that) the Mishnah states: This blessing is pronounced over the fruit of every tree but one. Over wine one offers the blessing: “Blessed be He who hath created the fruit of the vine.”8Mishnah Berakhot 6:1. Why is wine blessed differently than other beverages? Because wine was used as a libation on the altar,9Wine was used as part of the ritual of the offering (Num. 28:14). and Jacob received his blessing on account of it.
