אינו חייב. המוכר באחריותו. דבשעת מכירה יין הוה. ודוקא שנעשה חומץ בכליו דלוקח, דאי בכליו של מוכר, מצי אמר ליה הא חמרך והא קנקנך, ולא מצי מוכר אמר ליה למה השהית אותו בקנקנים כל כך את הוא דאפסדת, דמצי היאך אמר ליה הא מעיקרא הודעתיך שלא היה בדעתי להסתפק מן היין אלא מעט מעט:
ואם ידוע שיינו מחמיץ. שאינו מתקיים. ואידך אמר ליה דלא בעי ליין אלא למקפה ולשהותו ליקח ממנו מעט מעט:
הרי זה מקח טעות. דהוה ליה לאודועי שאין יינו מתקיים:
מבושם. דרכו להתקיים עד עצרת. ומשם ואילך החום מקלקלו:
וישן. אם מכר לו יין על מנת שהוא ישן. נותן לו משל אשתקד, מן השנה שעברה הקודמת לזו:

Mishnayos Bava Basra Perek 6 Mishnah 4
בבא בתרא פרק ו׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
בית חתנות לבנו – for it is way of a person to make a house for his son when he gets married to a woman.
בית אלמנות לבתו – when her husband dies and she returns to the house of her father, but during the life of her husband, she is with her husband, for it is not the way for the a groom to live with his father-in-law.
רפת בקר הוא זה – he would need to make it much bigger.
בית קטן – the least of these houses is six [cubits] by eight [cubits]. But a person who sells his friend a place, undefined to make for himself a house, it must be six [cubits] by eight [cubits].
גדול – and if he specified to make for him a large house.
טרקלין – it is made for the seating of princes.
רומו כחצי ארכו וכחצי רחבו – it refers to all of them, meaning for a small house, its height is seven [cubits] and for a large house, nine [cubits] and for a reception room, ten [cubits].
ראיה לדבר היכל – that its length was forty [cubits] and its width twenty [cubits] and its height thirty [cubits], which are one-half its length and width (see First Kings, Chapter 6, verses 2 and 17 for a description of the First Temple and Tractate Middot, Chapter 4, Mishnayot 6-7 for a description of the Second Temple).
הכל כבנין היכל – There is one who say that what is taught in the Mishnah above that its height should be [the sum of] half of its length and half of its width (see also Tractate Eruvin, Chapter 6, Mishnah 6). The proof of the matter is the Sanctuary/Temple. Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel taught it as Rabbi Shimon ben Gamaliel states: הכל כבנין היכל/Everything should be in accord with the building of the Sanctuary/Temple. But there is one who says that Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel disputes with the first Tanna/teacher [of the Mishnah] and expresses astonishment in asking: “Should everything be in accordance with the Sanctuary/Temple?” The matter is not dependent upon anything but the custom of the country.
בית חתנות לבנו. שדרך אדם לעשות לבנו בית כשנושא אשה:
בית אלמנות לבתו. כשמת בעלה ושבה אל בית אביה. אבל בחיי בעלה היא אצל בעלה, שאין דרך חתן לדור עם חמיו:
רפת בקר הוא זה. וצריך לעשותו גדול יותר:
בית קטן. הפחות שבבתים הוא שש על שמונה. והמוכר מקום לחבירו סתם לעשות לו בית צריך שיהיה שש על שמונה:
גדול. ואם פי׳ לעשות לו בית גדול:
טרקלין. עשוי למושב שרים:
רומו כחצי ארכו וכחצי רחבו. אכולהו קאי, דהיינו בבית קטן רומו שבעה, ובבית גדול תשעה, וטרקלין עשר:
ראיה לדבר היכל. שהיה ארכו ארבעים ורחבו עשרים ורומו שלשים, שהם חצי ארכו ורחבו:
הכל כבנין היכל. איכא דאמרי הא דתנן לעיל רומו כחצי ארכו וכחצי רחבו, ראיה לדבר היכל, רשב״ג קתני לה, שרשב״ג אומר הכל כבנין היכל. ואיכא דאמרי רשב״ג פליג את״ק ואתמוהי קא מתמה, וכי הכל בונים כבנין היכל, אין הדבר תלוי אלא במנהג המדינה:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

אינו חייב – [the seller in his responsibility] for at the time of the sale, it was wine.

You are the one who has taken a loss,” for this one could have said to him: but from the beginning, I informed you that it was not my intention to be supported by this wine, other than a little bit [at a time].”
ואם ידוע שיינו מחמיץ – that it is not preserved and the other one says to him that he didn’t need wine, but rather for a stiff mass of grist, oil and onions and to let it stand to take from it only bit by bit.
