It is prohibited mid'Rabanan to consume uncovered water, wine, milk, honey, or fish brine that was left unattended. This is because of the possibility that a poisonous snake drank from the water, leaving behind a residue of poison. (See RAMBAM Hilchos Rotze'ach u'Shemiras ha'Nefesh 11:5-16.) This prohibition does not apply to wine during the first three days of its fermentation, since one may assume that the fermentation would scare away a snake.

9)[line 10]ניסוךNISUCH (YAYIN NESECH)

(a)Wine that was poured as an idolatrous libation is Asur b'Hana'ah. This is derived from the verse, "Asher Chelev Zevacheimo Yochelu, Yishtu Yein Nesicham" - "Those who ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings" (Devarim 32:38), which compares the wine of libations to an animal sacrificed for idolatrous purposes.

(b)The Chachamim prohibited the wine of a Nochri that was not poured as a libation (Stam Yeinam) out of fear that drinking wine together would lead to intermarriage. In order to avoid confusion between Yayin Nesech and Stam Yeinam, the Chachamim instituted that Stam Yeinam is also Asur b'Hana'ah. Although this is only an Isur mid'Rabanan, it is a very severe prohibition (see Chochmas Adam 75:1). (See Background to Avodah Zarah 62:16.)

(c)Yayin Mevushal, or cooked wine, is not subject to the prohibition. The Rishonim give a number of reasons for why the prohibition does not apply: 1. According to the RAMBAM, idol-worshipers do not used cooked wine for their religious rites. 2. The ROSH objects and points out that the reason behind the prohibition against consuming wine of Nochrim is the concern that it will lead to intermarriage with their daughters. This concern exists with cooked wine just as it exists with uncooked wine. The ROSH explains, therefore, that the reason why the prohibition does not apply to cooked wine is that it is uncommon for wine to be cooked, and the Rabanan did not enact their decree in uncommon situations. 3. The RASHBA explains that cooking wine changes its flavor to the point that it is no longer called "wine" but rather "cooked wine."
