[Avodah Zarah 56a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/56a:1)

וְאֵין בּוֹצְרִין עִם יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁעוֹשֶׂה פֵּירוֹתָיו בְּטוּמְאָה, וְכׇל שֶׁכֵּן שֶׁאֵין דּוֹרְכִין, אֲבָל בּוֹצְרִין עִם הַנׇּכְרִי בַּגַּת, שֶׁמּוּתָּר לִגְרוֹם טוּמְאָה לְחוּלִּין שֶׁבְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** one **may not harvest** grapes together **with a Jew who produces** wine from **his fruit in** a state of **ritual impurity,** as he is thereby causing the produce to be rendered impure. **And all the more so may** one **not tread** on the grapes with him, as he is assisting the Jew who is rendering the wine impure by treading on the grapes. **But** one **may harvest** grapes **into the winepress** together **with the gentile, as it is permitted to impart impurity to non-sacred** produce **that is in Eretz Yisrael.**

[Avodah Zarah 56a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/56a:2)

וְאֵינוֹ עוֹשֶׂה יֵין נֶסֶךְ עַד שֶׁיֵּרֵד לְבוֹר. וְהָתַנְיָא: יַיִן מִשֶּׁיְּקַפֶּה!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna teaches: **And** the gentile’s touch **does not render** the juice of the grapes into **wine** used for **a libation until it descends into the** collection **vat,** because until then it does not have the status of wine. The Gemara asks: **But isn’t it taught** in a mishna (*Ma’asrot* 1:7) with regard to the stage when the work of producing the wine is considered complete and one is obligated to separate tithes from the wine: With regard to **wine,** one is obligated to separate tithes **from** the time **that** the solid residue **floats [*misheyikpe*]** on top of the wine.

[Avodah Zarah 56a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/56a:3)

אָמַר רָבָא: לָא קַשְׁיָא, הָא רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, הָא רַבָּנַן, דִּתְנַן: יַיִן מִשֶּׁיֵּרֵד לַבּוֹר, רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר: מִשֶּׁיְּקַפֶּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava said:** It is **not difficult. That** mishna is in accordance with the opinion of **Rabbi Akiva,** whereas **this** mishna is in accordance with the opinion of **the Rabbis.** This is **as we learned** in a *baraita*: With regard to **wine,** one is obligated to separate tithes **from** the time **that** the wine **descends into the** collection **vat. Rabbi Akiva says:** One is obligated to separate tithes only **from** the time **that** the solid residue **floats** on top of the wine.

אִיבַּעְיָא לְהוּ: קִיפּוּי דְּבוֹר, אוֹ קִיפּוּי דְּחָבִית?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**A dilemma was raised before** the Sages: Is Rabbi Akiva referring to the **floating** of the seeds on top of the wine **in the** collection **vat or** to the **floating** of the yeast on top of the wine **in** the **barrel?**

[Avodah Zarah 56a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/56a:5)

תָּא שְׁמַע, דְּתַנְיָא: יַיִן — מִשֶּׁיְּקַפֶּה, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁקִּפָּה, קוֹלֵט מִן הַגַּת הָעֶלְיוֹנָה וּמִן הַצִּינּוֹר וְשׁוֹתֶה. שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ קִיפּוּי דְּבוֹר קָאָמְרִינַן, שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara suggests: **Come** and **hear** a resolution of this issue, **as it is taught** in that mishna: With regard to **wine,** one is obligated to separate tithes **from** the time **that** the solid residue **floats** on top of the wine. Subsequently, **even though** the residue **has floated,** one **may collect** wine **from the upper winepress and from the pipe** that connects the upper winepress to the vat, **and** one **may drink** it without separating tithes. **Conclude from** the mishna that **we are speaking** about the **floating** of the seeds on top of the wine **in** the collection **vat.** The Gemara affirms: **Conclude from it** that it is so.

[Avodah Zarah 56a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/56a:6)

וְהָתָנֵי רַב זְבִיד בִּדְבֵי רַבִּי אוֹשַׁעְיָא: יַיִן — מִשֶּׁיֵּרֵד לַבּוֹר וִיקַפֶּה, רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר: מִשֶּׁיְּשַׁלֶּה בֶּחָבִיּוֹת! תָּרְצַהּ נָמֵי לְהָךְ קַמַּיְיתָא הָכִי: יַיִן — מִשֶּׁיֵּרֵד לַבּוֹר וִיקַפֶּה, רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר: מִשֶּׁיְּשַׁלֶּה בֶּחָבִיּוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **But didn’t Rav Zevid teach** a different version of the aforementioned dispute **in** a *baraita* **of the school of Rabbi Oshaya:** With regard to **wine,** one is obligated to separate tithes **from** the time **that** the wine **descends into the** collection **vat and** the seeds **float** on top. **Rabbi Akiva says:** One is obligated to separate tithes only **from** the time **that** one **siphons** the wine from the vat **into barrels.** The Gemara replies that one can resolve the contradiction: **Explain that first** *baraita* in **this** manner **as well:** With regard to **wine,** one is obligated to separate tithes **from** the time **that** the wine **descends into the** collection **vat and** the seeds **float** on top. **Rabbi Akiva says:** One is obligated to separate tithes only **from** the time **that** one **siphons** the wine from the vat **into barrels.**

[Avodah Zarah 56a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/56a:7)

וְאֶלָּא, מַתְנִיתִין דְּקָתָנֵי: אֵינוֹ עוֹשֶׂה יֵין נֶסֶךְ עַד שֶׁיֵּרֵד לַבּוֹר, לֵימָא תְּלָתָא תַּנָּאֵי הִיא? לָא, שָׁאנֵי יֵין נֶסֶךְ דְּאַחְמִירוּ בֵּיהּ רַבָּנַן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **But** whose opinion is expressed in **the mishna that teaches:** The gentile **does not render** the juice of the grapes into **wine** used for **a libation until it descends into the** collection **vat? Shall we say** that the stage when the work of producing the wine is considered complete **is** subject to a dispute between **three *tanna’im*?** The Gemara replies: **No,** the prohibition of **wine** used for **a libation is different, as the Sages were stringent concerning it** and render the wine forbidden even before the seeds float. By contrast, with regard to tithes, the *tanna* of this mishna holds in accordance with the opinion of either Rabbi Akiva or the Rabbis.
