Shulchan Aruch (YD 124:1) states:

A Nochri child who does not mention idolatry or Meshamshim, if he touched wine he forbids only drinking it, but not benefit from it.

(See this related question.)

Would this prohibuition be only in the case of a gentile child who is an idolator or also in the case of a non-idolatrous one — i.e. would the wine be permitted to drink if a non-idolatrous gentile child touched it?

First of all, as has been established elsewhere on the site, merely touching the bottle would not make it Yayin Nesech. Second, Yayin Nesech is the wrong term - it's only Yayin Nesech if it has been used for a libation. Otherwise it's Stam Yeiynam. – Seth J Dec 20 '12 at 17:52
@SethJ who mentioned touching the bottle? – Danield Dec 20 '12 at 20:51

You did. "Would a Gentile baby/child that touch/shake an open container of wine..." – Seth J Dec 20 '12 at 20:55
@DoubleAA I Edited the question only to include my third question which wasn't included in the other duplicate question. – Danield Dec 21 '12 at 12:00
