Commentary for Avodah Zarah 131:5

הא מדקתני סיפא זה הכלל כל שבהנאתו בנותן טעם אסור כל שאין בהנאתו בנותן טעם מותר מכלל דבנותן טעם עסקינן

Since it teaches at the end [of the mishnah]: This is the general rule: whatever derives advantage [from yayin nesekh by its] imparting a flavor is prohibited, but whatever does not derive advantage [from yayin nesekh by its] imparting a flavor is permitted, it follows that we are dealing here with a case where it does impart a flavor.
