SA O"Ch 462:3
Mechabeir
    Muttar lalush b'yayin af al pi she'ee efshar lo b'lo tippas mayim
    shenofeles bishas haqatzir.
    V'af l'chathila r'gilim leetein mayin bishas haqatzir.. Ho'eel
    uch'var nistabtlu hamayyid b'yayin qodem shelash ho'issa

I mean what the Shulchan Aruch meant
What RZS means I have no idea ;-).

The case of added water could be a problem when combined with the flour
or dough at a different time - But drops of water in the wine is batteil
and poses no threat of himutz later on as per Halachah.

I wish to thank RZS for prompting me to chazer my SA lessons ;-)
