OLD CRUSTED MASDEU.--It is now five
years since the Proprietors of the GRAY'S-INN WINE
ESTABLISHMENT commenced their operations on this WINE,
and it will be remembered that two years ago they introduced it to
the public, as well worthy, both in quality in price, to take its stand
among those in general consumption in this country ; they detailed
at length their knowledge of its quality, and the practical expe-
rience upon which their judgment was formed: they showed that
the heavy and unequal taxation created by the Methuen Treaty, in
1703, had amounted to a prohibition of many of the Wines of
France; but the English Government having, in 1831, equalised
the duties on French and Portugal Wines, they expressed their
conviction, that a wide field was opened for capital and exertion to
compete with the hitherto more favoured vineyards of the Penin-
sula. The success which has attended tkat competition will be
best seen by the undermentioned Parliamentary Return, showing
the net consumption of the United Kingdom.

It will be seen by this return that while the fetal consumption of
Wine has remained nearly stationzry that of French Wine has
steadily and progressively increased, the year ending sth January,
1833, showing tbr enormous increase of 62 per cent. over that
ending sth January, ; this large increaser is chiefly attribut-
able to Ilasdeu, as is fully proved by the Custom House reports.
and shows, beyond a doubt, that this Wine is well adapted both to
the palate and constitution of English consumers : it must also be
borne in mind that this increase has taken place notwithstanding
Masdeu has never yet (except to a very small extent) been intro-
duced in that ripe and matured state which age in bottle can alone
impart, for /11a.adeu, like all other red wines, requires age, both in
wood and bottle, to render it perfect and fit for the table.
With this view the Proprietors of the Gray's-inn Wine Esta-
blishment (anticipating these results from the intrinsic quality of
the Wine) caused 2,500 dozen to be put in bottle in the year 1835,
and have since annually increased their stock, so that they might be
in the slime position with this as with the other Wines in which
they deal, and be enabled to keep up a constant supply cf matured
and old bottled Wine. It is now in brilliant condition, with a firm
crust; may be moved without the slightest. injury; and the nobi-
lity and public in general arc respectfully invited to pass their judg-
ment on it at the vaults of their Establishment.

The Proprietors regret the necessity of again cautioning the
public and the country wine-merchants against various common
red Wines which have been in many instances surreptitiously im-
posed upon the wine-merchants, mai through !hem, unknowingly,
upon the public, as the genuine Masdeu, to which they have no
more affinity than the Port Wine produced in Figucira has to the
highest quality.of the vineyards of the Alto Douro.
