It's clear from these excerpts that idolaters offer wine in sacrifice to their idols. And this means you can never be sure that wine purchased from idolaters hadn't been used in some pagan rituals. By partaking of such wine a Jew would indirectly participate in worshipping an alien god, which is strictly forbidden in Judaism. In modern times, there are different opinions whether all non-Jews are necessarily idolaters; some rabbis considered consider members of other monotheistic religions, that is, Christians and (especially) Muslims, to be excluded from that category.
