The answer

Selling and manufacturing cartons for a winery is forbidden due to cooperation in sin. As for the work of an accountant in a winery, if it does not involve accounting for the mentioned factory or registering contracts with it, then there is no harm in it. However, if contracts are processed through him, and he registers and accounts for them, then this is forbidden due to its endorsement of evil. He must seek another job. If he cannot find another job opportunity and fears destitution for himself and his family, then he may remain for as long as necessary until he finds other work. He should also be able to deduct the portion of his salary earned from the forbidden work.
