וּשְׁמוּאֵל אָמַר: חַמְרָא – אַכַּתְפָּא דְּמָארֵיהּ שָׁוַואר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Shmuel said:** Even if the wine sours shortly after the purchase, the seller does not bear responsibility, as **the wine is agitated** as it is carried **upon the shoulders of its** new **owner,** causing it to sour quickly.

עֲבַד רַב יוֹסֵף עוֹבָדָא כְּווֹתֵיהּ דְּרַב בְּשִׁיכְרָא, וּכְווֹתֵיהּ דִּשְׁמוּאֵל בְּחַמְרָא. וְהִלְכְתָא כְּווֹתֵיהּ דִּשְׁמוּאֵל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yosef ruled** in an actual **case in accordance with** the opinion **of Rav, in** which **beer** spoiled shortly after it was sold, **and in accordance with** the opinion **of Shmuel in** a similar case involving **wine. And the *halakha*** is **in accordance with** the opinion **of Shmuel.**

תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: אֶחָד שֵׁכַר תְּמָרִים, וְאֶחָד שֵׁכַר שְׂעוֹרִים, וְאֶחָד שִׁמְרֵי יַיִן – מְבָרְכִין עֲלֵיהֶם ״שֶׁהַכֹּל נִהְיֶה בִּדְבָרוֹ״. אֲחֵרִים אוֹמְרִים: שְׁמָרִים שֶׁיֵּשׁ בָּהֶם טַעַם יַיִן, מְבָרֵךְ עֲלֵיהֶן ״בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגֶּפֶן״. רַבָּה וְרַב יוֹסֵף דְּאָמְרִי תַּרְוַיְיהוּ: אֵין הֲלָכָה כַּאֲחֵרִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **The Sages taught** in a *baraita*: **Whether** one drinks **date beer, or barley beer, or** a beverage made from soaking **pomace** from the production of **wine** in water, known as *tamad*, **one recites over them the blessing: By Whose word all things came to be. *Aḥerim* say: Over** wine made from **pomace that has the taste of wine** one **recites the blessing: Who creates fruit of the vine. Rabba and Rav Yosef both say: The *halakha*** is **not in accordance with** the opinion of ***Aḥerim*.**

אָמַר רָבָא: דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא, רְמָא תְּלָתָא וַאֲתָא אַרְבְּעָה – חַמְרָא הוּא. רָבָא לְטַעְמֵיהּ, דְּאָמַר רָבָא: כֹּל חַמְרָא דְּלָא דָרֵי עַל חַד תְּלָת מַיָּא – לָאו חַמְרָא הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava said:** According to the opinions **of everyone** mentioned in the *baraita*, if **one poured three** jugs of water over grape pomace **and** then, after removing the pomace, the volume of the resulting beverage **came to four** jugs, then that beverage **is** regarded as **wine.** Evidently, a quarter of the resulting beverage is from juice that was contained in the pomace, which is pure wine, and that is a sufficient ratio for the beverage as a whole to be regarded as wine. The Gemara interjects Rava’s comments: With this statement, **Rava** conforms **to his** standard line of **reasoning, as Rava said: Any wine that does not contain three** parts **water to one** part pure wine **is not** regarded as **wine,** as it is excessively strong.

רְמָא תְּלָתָא וַאֲתָא תְּלָתָא, וְלָא כְּלוּם הוּא. כִּי פְּלִיגִי, דִּרְמָא תְּלָתָא וַאֲתָא תְּלָתָא וּפַלְגָא – דְּרַבָּנַן סָבְרִי: תְּלָתָא עָיֵיל תְּלָתָא נָפֵיק, פָּשׁ לֵיהּ פַּלְגָא – וּפַלְגָא בְּשִׁיתָּא פַּלְגֵי מַיָּא, וְלָא כְּלוּם הוּא;

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rava continues: If **one poured three** jugs of water over pomace, **and** the volume of the resulting beverage still **came to three** jugs, then **it is nothing,** i.e., it is not regarded as wine. **When** the *tanna’im* in the *baraita* **disagree** is in a case **where one poured three** jugs of water over pomace **and** the volume of the resulting beverage **came to three and a half** jugs, **as the Rabbis,** i.e., the first *tanna*, **hold** that **three** jugs of water **were absorbed into** the pomace and then the same **three** jugs of water **seeped out** of the pomace; therefore, there **remains half** a jug of the resulting beverage that was originally pure wine contained in the pomace. **But half** a jug of pure wine mixed **into six half-**jugs of **water is nothing,** i.e., the mixture is too weak to be regarded as wine.

וַאֲחֵרִים סָבְרִי: תְּלָתָא עוּל, תְּרֵין וּפַלְגָא נָפֵיק, פָּשׁ לֵיהּ כּוּזָא; וְכוּזָא בִּתְרֵי וּפַלְגָא חַמְרָא, מְעַלְּיָא הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And *Aḥerim* hold** that **three** jugs of water **were absorbed into** the pomace but only **two and a half** jugs of water **seeped out** of the pomace, as one jug of water replaced the one jug of pure wine contained in the pomace. Therefore, there **remains** one **jug** of the resulting beverage that is pure wine that was previously contained in the pomace. **And** one **jug** of pure wine mixed **into two and a half** jugs of water **is** regarded as **full-fledged wine.**

וּבְיוֹתֵר מִכְּדֵי מִדָּתוֹ, מִי פְּלִיגִי?! וְהָא תְּנַן:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And where** the volume of the resulting beverage **is greater than the amount** of water that was poured over the pomace, **do** the Sages ever **disagree? But didn’t we learn** in a mishna (*Ma’asrot* 5:6):
