והחומץ של עובדי כוכבים שהיה מתחלתו יין: פשיטא משום דאחמיץ פקע ליה איסוריה אמר רב אשי הא אתא לאשמועינן חומץ שלנו ביד עובד כוכבים אין צריך חותם בתוך חותם אי משום אינסוכי לא מנסכי ואי משום איחלופי כיון דאיכא חותם לא טרח ומזייף

Or the wine of a non-Jew that was originally wine. This is obvious! Just because it turned sour its prohibition is removed? R. Ashi said: This comes to teach that vinegar belonging to us being held by a non-Jew does not require double sealing. If we are concerned lest he libate it, [vinegar] is generally not libated. And if we are concerned that he might exchange it for his own — since there is one seal, he would not take the trouble to falsify it.
