[If] nesech-wine fell onto grapes, he should rinse them off and they are permitted; but if they were cracked, they are prohib-ited. [If] it fell onto dates or onto figs, if there is [enough] in them to give taste —- it is prohibited. There was an incident in which Boethus the son of Zonin brought dried figs by boat, and a barrel of nesech-wine broke and [the wine] fell onto them; and he asked the Sages and they permitted them. This is the rule: Anything that contributes to his enjoyment by the flavor it imparts is prohibited; anything that does not contribute to his enjoyment by the flavor it imparts is permitted —- such as vinegar which fell onto chopped beans.

An idolater was helping a Jew to transport casks of wine from place to place —- if there was a state of supervision, it is per-mitted. If he informed him that he was going far —- [it is prohibited] if there was time for him to puncture, patch, and allow it to dry. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: [Only] if there was time for him to open, apply a [new] seal, and allow it to dry.
