Is there merit in setting a table with various fruits in honor of Tu BiShvat?
It is customary to eat many types of tree fruits on the night of Tu BiShvat, especially fruits for which the Land of Israel is praised, to show that it is the New Year for trees, and to recite the appropriate blessings over them. This is a beautiful custom. [Yalkut Yosef Moadim, page 248].
If several types of wine are served, should one recite the blessing of HaTov VeHaMeitiv?
One should not recite the blessing of HaTov VeHaMeitiv over a second wine during the Tu BiShvat ceremony since it is not being consumed during a meal (Chazon Ovadia page 78).
