Avodah Zarah 31: If a Tree Bears Fruit in a Forest...
Description
NOTE: This episode is released out of order (after daf 32) because of a problem with the recording. We apologize for the inconvenience.
There are 3 reasons why wine would be prohibited -- that which was used for libation; that which was owned by a non-Jew; that which belonged to a Jew, but what was deposited with a non-Jew. With various degrees of severity regarding benefit and impurity. Plus, an aphorism about a tree's presence and its fruit. Also, a further discussion on beer - and specific kinds of beer that were problematic for various reasons: fraternizing (where the beer is kosher, but avoid the establishment); small amounts of concerning wine mixed in the beer; or beer that was left uncovered, which is its own problem.
