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?

1Once 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)– samJul 22, 2012 at 16:14

2One 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 FJul 22, 2012 at 16:33

On Shabbos there is no restriction against eating meat or drinking wine even if one began Shabbos early - any time after plag ha-Minchah.
We see from here that you can make Kiddush early.
