Barukh atah Adonai, mekadesh ha-Shabbat. 

וַיְהִי עֶֽרֶב וַיְהִי בֹֽקֶר יוֹם הַשִּׁשִּׁי: … 

[Quiet] And it was evening, and it was morning, 

[Loud] the sixth day. The heavens and the earth were completed and all their hosts. … Blessed are You, LORD, who sanctifies the Shabbat. 

Drink some of the wine and share the remainder with those present.
