Talmud for Avodah Zarah 5:10

יֵין נֶסֶךְ שֶׁנָּפַל לְבוֹר, כֻּלּוֹ אָסוּר בַּהֲנָאָה. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, יִמָּכֵר כֻּלּוֹ לְנָכְרִי, חוּץ מִדְּמֵי יֵין נֶסֶךְ שֶׁבּוֹ:

If yayin nesech falls into a pit [of wine], the whole is forbidden in derivation of benefit, [for the wine which was used as an idolatrous libation forbids its kind by (intermixture in) any amount. But the wine of gentiles which we do not know of a certainty to have been used as a libation, even though derivation of benefit is forbidden therefrom, does not thus forbid its admixture.] R. Shimon b. Gamliel says: The whole is to be sold to a gentile less the value of that wine of the gentile which is in it. [This is the halachah.]
