Mishnah Avodah Zarah 5:8: Yayin nesech is prohibited, and even a minute amount makes other things prohibited. Wine in wine or water in water, even a minute amount [of the prohibited substance renders it all prohibited]. Wine in water or water in wine, an amount [of the prohibited substance] sufficient to impart flavor [renders it prohibited]. This is the rule: a mixture of things of the same type, a minute amount [of the prohibited substance renders it prohibited]; a mixture of different types, an amount [of the prohibited substance] sufficient to impart flavor [renders it all prohibited].

יין נסך אסור ואוסר בכל שהוא. יין ביין ומים במים, בכל שהוא. יין במים ומים ביין, בנותן טעם. זה הכלל: מין במינו במשהו, ושלא במינו בנותן טעם

Mishnah Avodah Zarah 5:9: The following things are prohibited and prohibit in a minute amount: yayin nesech, idolatry, skins torn at the heart [as part of an idolatrous practice], an ox that is to be stoned, the calf which will have its neck severed, the bird offerings of a leper, the hair of a nazirite, the firstborn donkey [that has not yet been redeemed], meat mixed with milk, the goat that is sent [to Azazel], and non-sanctified animals slaughtered in the temple courtyard, all these are prohibited and even minute amounts make other things prohibited.

אלו אסורין ואוסרין בכל שהן, יין נסך, ועבודה זרה, ועורות לבובין, ושור הנסקל, ועגלה ערופה, וצפרי מצורע, ושער נזיר, ופטר חמור, ובשר בחלב, [ושעיר המשתלח], וחלין שנשחטו בעזרה, הרי אלו אסורין ואוסרין בכל שהן.
