Talmud for Bava Batra 6:2

הַמּוֹכֵר פֵּרוֹת לַחֲבֵרוֹ, הֲרֵי זֶה מְקַבֵּל עָלָיו רֹבַע טִנֹּפֶת לִסְאָה. תְּאֵנִים, מְקַבֵּל עָלָיו עֶשֶׂר מְתֻלָּעוֹת לְמֵאָה. מַרְתֵּף שֶׁל יַיִן, מְקַבֵּל עָלָיו עֶשֶׂר קוֹסְסוֹת לְמֵאָה. קַנְקַנִּים בַּשָּׁרוֹן, מְקַבֵּל עָלָיו עֶשֶׂר פִּיטַסְיָאוֹת לְמֵאָה:

If one sells produce to his neighbor, he [the buyer] takes upon himself a quarter of defective (produce) for each sa'ah, this being the normal (spoilage) for produce, and not more.] With figs, he take upon himself ten wormy ones to a hundred, [one out of ten]. With a wine cellar, he takes upon himself ten bad wines to a hundred. [If it is a wine cellar of large jugs, he takes upon himself ten large jugs. If, of (small) pitchers, he takes upon himself ten pitchers. This, only when he says to him: "I sell you this (wine) cellar, and for mikpeh"; that is, to put in a dish. But if he says: "I sell you a cellar of wine for mikpeh," he must give him all good wine. For mikpeh wine must be good and long-lasting, it being used only little by little. And if he said: "I am selling you wine" (unqualified), not mentioning mikpeh, he gives him "average" wine, the kind sold in a shop. And if he said: "I am selling you this cellar," without mentioning wine, even if it were all vinegar, the sale stands.] With (wine) vessels in the Sharon, he takes upon himself ten thin jugs [(which are not entirely baked, and which absorb and exude wine)] to a hundred.
