Is it permitted to bring in Shabbos early during the 9 days and make Kiddush? I know that the prevailing custom for Havdallah is to do it over something other than wine, but obviously this cannot be done for kiddush on Shabbos evening. Is there any connection between these, or are they totally separate because havdallah occurs after Shabbos is over, while Kiddush occurs when you have already accepted Shabbos?

Once one brings in Shabbas after plag it is considered Shabbas and one can use wine and havdallah is the procedure which concludes the Shabbas so some dont use wine since it is considered chol(alot of people use wine anyways see Shuclhan Aruch) – sam Jul 22 '12 at 16:14

One quibble: Kiddush Friday night can be made on bread, so the statement "obviously this cannot be done for kiddush on Shabbos evening" is not correct. – Dov F Jul 22 '12 at 16:33
@DovF Isn't that only bdi eved? – Daniel Jul 22 '12 at 17:19
