Exegesis
The intricate string of genitives ek tou oinou tou thymou tēs porneias autēs links the imagery of wine, wrath, and fornication in a tight causal sequence, preserved in translation through prepositional phrases to reflect both the source and object of the intoxicating, judgmental influence exerted over panta ta ethnē {πάντα τὰ ἔθνη | pánta tà éthnē}.

And another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen—fallen is Babylon the great, who has given all the nations to drink the wine of the wrath of her fornication .”
