משנה: אוּמָּנִים יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁשָּׁלַח לָהֶם נָכְרִי חָבִית שֶׁל יֵין נֶסֶךְ מוּתָּר שֶׁיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ תֶּן לָנוּ אֶת דָּמֶיהָ. אִם מִשֶּׁנִּכְנָס לִרְשׁוּתָן אָסוּר.
MISHNAH: Jewish craftsmen whom a Gentile sent an amphora of libation wine114Which is forbidden for usufruct to the Jew and therefore worthless to them. as their wages are permitted to tell him, give us its worth115They can refuse to accept the amphora and ask for payment in money. But they cannot accept the merchandise and then request that it be exchanged for money; this would be usufruct of forbidden wine, not payment for work done.. After it came to their possession it is forbidden.

הלכה: אוּמָּנִין יִשְׂרָאֵל כול׳. וְאֵין אָסוּר מִשּׁוּם יַיִן נֶסֶךְ. תַּנֵּי בַר קַפָּרָא. בִּמְשַׁלֵּחַ בַּבָּתִּים.
HALAKHAH: “Jewish craftsmen,” etc. Is it not forbidden because of libation wine? Bar Qappara stated, if he sends it to houses116If the amphora were delivered by a Jewish teamster, he would act as the Jew’s agent and the wine would be forbidden. Similarly, if the wine were delivered by a Gentile to the property of the artisan, the delivery would effect the transfer of property rights and the wine would be forbidden. Therefore one must assume that the Jew rents his place of work in a building dedicated to artisans’ workshops; delivery there by a Gentile transporter does not transfer property rights and the artisan may refuse acceptance and require payment in coin..
