Commentary for Avodah Zarah 120:8
נפל לבור ועלה: אמר רב פפא לא שנו אלא שעלה מת אבל עלה חי אסור מ"ט אמר רב פפא דדמי עליה כיום אידם:
If [a non-Jew] fell into a vat and climbed out. R. Papa said: This was taught only if he came out dead, but if he climbed out alive it is prohibited. What is the reason? — Because it would be to him like an idolatrous festival.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
According to the mishnah, if a non-Jew falls into a vat of wine, the wine may be sold (R. Shimon allows it to be drunk). R. Papa says this is true only if the non-Jew dies in the vat (ewww, not sure I’d want to drink it after that). If he comes out then the wine is strictly prohibited because we can assume that he libated some of it. Surviving the fall into the wine vat is cause for him to celebrate as he would on a festival.
