Wines in the wood, of first quality, way be bought in bond,
or selected, at the Adelphi Vaults, on terms of equal ad-
vantage.
The very high prices necessarily charged for Wines by
Houses doing business for credit, with the disreputable mode
of trade so generally pursued by the pretended Cheap-selling
Wine Companies of the day, have long appeared to present
an opportunity for the investment of capital in an Establish-
ment which shall at once he conducted on the respectable
principles of the former, and realize the professions of the
latter. This experiment has already been tried will)

derable success, and the Proprietors of the Adelphi Vaults

Establishment..
The Public,. in the purchase and consumption of Wines,
are -necessarily and only governed by Price, Quality, and
Measure.
PRICE.—On this head, the Proprietors rest satisfied with
referring to their List of Prices, which will be found- as
low as the lowest adveliising Houses, and from 15 to 20 per
cent. lower than the charges of Merchants doing business for

credit.
QUALITY.-1 he Wines laid in at the Adelphi Vaults are
warranted the choicest qualities the markets can produce.—
Tnelt is generally of the Royal Oporto Company's ship -
ping, and principally of their fine 1815 vintage, together with
a select stock of Thompson and Croft's curious Old %Vine, and
the late Mr. Duarte's mconiparabie Bomrcteiro Port. The
Madriras, Sherries, French, and Rhenish Wines, are front
shippers of the first character and reputation.
The whole stock of bottled Wine is binned away in Vato:s
whose structure and situation have been found m the
occupancy of the Old Osborne Hotel) to possesspeculiar and,
perhaps, exclusive advantages, in ripening and improving the
flavour of Foreign Wines. Purchasers of Wine from the
Wood will have an opportunity of tasting the Wines as they
lie in the Adelphi Vaults, and selecting the Pipes from which
their wine shall he drawn. Crested Port, and other bottled
Wines, may be tasted at the bins. and the bins chosen from
which the Wines shall-be delivered.
MEASURE.—From the practice of the trade in using
bottles of various measures, and frequently undersized, a
Bottle of Wine has lung ceased to convey any defined idea of
quantity. The Proprietors of this Establishment pledge
themselves to bottle the whole of their Wines in bottles
technically denominated the full-size fourteens; that is to
say, in bottles, fourteen of which will contain three gallons
of Wine. The difference in measure between these bottles
and such as are used by some of the modern Wine Compa-
nies, so called, has been found to he, on every dozen of Wine,
one bottle and two-sevenths
_; on every pipe of Wine
(bottled), five dozen and nine bottles, making a difference.
on price of from 4s. 6d. to 6s. per doeen, and from 121. to 151.
per pipe.
The Nobility, Gentry, and Private Families, will be sup-
plied with Goods delivered, free of expense, to any part of
London or its environs ; beyond, these -the profits of ' the
Proprietors will not allow them to incur the charge of de-
livery.
Orders from the Country must contain remittances foi
goods and packages, or orders for payment in town. Bottles
and hampers charged together, 4s. per dozen.—No discount
will be in any case allowed.
