Midrash for Bekhorot 107:2
תירוש ודגן דגן ודגן מנין
Whence do we derive that this applies to wine and grain<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since in connection with these, Scripture does not mention 'the best' in every case, but only with reference to wine.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 18:4) "The first (i.e., terumah) of your corn": We are hereby taught that terumah is given only of the choicest. "your corn, your wine, and your oil": We are hereby taught that terumah is not given from one for the other. And just as we find that we do not give terumah from two of these kinds from one for the other, so, we do not give terumah from grains and from greens from one kind for the other.
