[Avodah] Kol, winemaking and besomim

My guess was that it's the CO2 that may be having an effect;
positively on the Ketores and negatively on the wine. (which may also
explain why flowers grow better when spoken to; a Google search shows
that other people think so too.)

My father's guess is that people tend to spit when speaking; the
result of gleeking may destory the quality of the wine but be the
perfect moisture needed for the Ketores (controlled by saying the
correct words).
