THE WINE TRADE. ,
The following are extracts from a Circular of igessr";tioo°'
and Maxwell, wine merchants, showing that the gag—
trade begins to touch the Aristocracy : ip lb
" Owing to the generally depressed state of trao of 00I
country, and in all parts of the world, the consurnPli°9goout
has fallen off within the last year upwards of 300,u'' to i
One effect of this has been, by increasing competitier f'ois
luge our docks with wines of every denomination, and 1,0 bleb
quarters ; but much of this, not being worth the dutY, fel
shipped off to India and the Colonies—the markets °'O,,S,
are now glutted with what is called Sherry, Champ:,,gof
A very remarkable change has taken place in the e'. ei
which, fifty 'years ago, constituted 70 per cent. of ger co
consumed, but has fallen to little more than 32 I of
Sherry, on the contrary, has risen from 16 to ur svh'
per cent. This is chiefly attributable to the quantity the
wine now drank during, and even after dinner ; end `oat tab h
shion of remaining but a comparatively short tioleree
Another cause, however, is undoubtedly, the prekwiver
has arisen against Port, owing to the introduction, uirirgl
the famous vintages of 1820 and 1821, of rich wines, ,

the comparatively small stocks laid in by consumers, wj,
sequently, drink their Port of less age than formeriP a° bec'ti

deteriorated. French wines are gradually becoing:it,;
known, and last year there was an increase of 7 Per

cheap sparkling wines under that name ; but lea"doco

Rhenish has fallen about 15 per cent. Marsala, Copt boo

by paying only half the duty of any other wine, effluev,
