Q. A Gentile woman poured wine without touching it into a bottle or glass, thinking it was whiskey.
A. Since she did not touch the wine and did not know that it was wine, we assume that she did not discover its true nature by its odor. For our wines are clear and weak in comparison with the wines of the talmudic period. Therefore, the use of the wine, even the wine she poured into the bottle, is permitted.
