# The [[Rambam]]<ref>Rambam Hilchot  Ma'achalot Assurot 11:10</ref> uniquely cites the position of the Geonei HaMaarav, who held that even a little bit of honey or spice can prevent wine from becoming subject to Maga Akum. Although this opinion has not been accepted by many, the Minhag in Egypt for generations was to be lenient like the Rambam, as all their wine came from Crete and adding honey was the only means of ensuring it wouldn't become prohibited by Maga Akum. the [[Radbaz]] permits such wine touched by a Yishmaeli on these grounds and in situations of great loss<ref>Shiurei Bracha 5. See Pe'at David ad loc that the Radbaz elsewhere only permits it in cases of Safek. See Nehar Mitzrayim (Hilchot Yayin Nesech 8) and Shelulit HaNahar (ad loc.) at length regarding the Radbaz, as well as [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=21291&pgnum=158 Shu"t Shemesh uMagen (vol. 3 Yoreh Deah 11-15)], [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=56617&st=&pgnum=102 Shu"t Divrei Benayahu (vol. 2 Siman 15-22)], and [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=21867&st=&pgnum=97 Shu"t Shema Shlomo (vol 3 Yoreh Deah 4-5)]</ref> and also allows mixing the touched wine with other wine to nullify it.<ref>Shiurei Bracha Yoreh Deah 123:6</ref>
