====== Wine ======
Wine that was used for avodah zarah is forbidden to drink and benefit from like the law of taakoroves avodah zarah. Chachamim also decreed on "stam yeinam" that it should be forbidden like wine that was used for nesech. Therefore if a goy touches wine or sees it, the wine becomes yayin nesech which is forbidden to drink etc., therefore we are very careful that a goy should not see or touch wine.

There are two ways that wine won't become yayin nesech:

# If the wine is sealed with two seals - a cork seal and a cover over it
# If the wine was cooked until boiling, then this wine is no longer fit for nesech and therefore we're not concerned. Some claim that pasteurization is like cooking but most rabbanim ruled that specifically cooking is required.
