4. In addition, a M’challel Shabbos causes any (non-M’vushal) wine he touches to become forbidden. As a result, I am not allowed to drink (non-M’vushal) wine, since the very act of picking it up causes it to become forbidden.
This reminds me of when I was at a presentation on the halachos of being mafrish terumah and maaser, and the presenter was saying how if you don’t have a siddur, you can say, “I am being mafrish like it says to in the Artscroll siddur.” But, he quoted from someone that if you do that when you have a siddur, then you are an am haaretz.
So I wondered, if you are an am haaretz, then your food is d’mai. So then you still can’t eat it.
