2,414. A Ger Toshav

Maachalos Assuros 13:11

The Rambam opines that whenever that we say that Jewish wine is prohibited for drinking but permitted for benefit because a non-Jew may have handled it, we’re talking about when the non-Jew is an idolator. In the case of a non-Jew who isn’t an idolator, like the Arabs, if they touched Jewish wine inadvertently or tapped a barrel at the top, the wine remains permitted for drinking. The same is true in all comparable situations.

Maachalos Assuros 13:12

However, if a Jew deposits wine with a ger toshav (“resident alien”), or if he sends it with him and departs, or if he leaves his home open in a courtyard that he shares with a ger toshav – in all of these cases the wine is prohibited for drinking. The Rambam opines that the concern that a non-Jew might exchange wine and forge the seal applies equally to idolators and monotheists. Therefore, since the wine enters the ger toshav’s domain, it is prohibited at least for drinking.
