# According to the [[Baalei HaTosafot]], Christians of our times are not true idol worshippers, so wine they touch or own is only prohibited from drinking, not benefit. This has far reaching ramifications throughout Hilchot Yayin Nesech, primarily for Ashkenazim. In fact, the [[Shach]] and [[Taz]] comment consistently how each ruling throughout these Simanim in Shulchan Aruch does not apply completely. Often times, they bump the prohibition down one level, so, if something is prohibited from benefit, they often say it's only prohibited from drinking, and, if only from drinking, then it's completely permitted. Obviously, each case must be evaluated individually, but the foreknowledge of how their perspective and general Derech HaPesak in this area should prove valuable.<ref>Rama Yoreh Deah 123:1 and 124:24</ref> | |||
