tom which ia givess such choice wines q
ncn;sls. Think OF the famous s'fine" Wins

shrosis / But when bottle bearine IN un-

c.iicd vinegar az villainous stuff without
leaving snv imputaiion ON you. Il wears
no great mans livery and you take what
liberties you please with it.
f The owners Of the esteemed vintages
throughout France are fvsining themselves
into powerful jplnt-dtock companies for the
protection Of their wines. They will acquire
powsss. of bringing suit, and these powers
they mean &, use throughout the world q
suppress al sales Of wines made under
fraudulent names. No expense win be
spared to attai this end. The consequence
OF this measure will be . complete resolu.
ton in the wine trade. The custom nov
is 10 use the Rhoncish and southesn wines,
which are for the most thick (some Of them
are a. black - ,nk) and unpleasantly f.
.ored, and the inferior wines n other parts
Of France to dilute the 6ner wines. The
latter impart something Of their flavor to
the former, which are then pushed fsrward
in the world Is the genuine wine Of supe-i
rior growth, and sold accordingly. An i'm.
mense quantity Of wine which goes forward
in Il orld never receives even this arist0.
crltic baptism. The wine, added to the
nauseous grape juice, is commonly some in
ferior wine of the better class, which has
smack of the I" fine'' wine-very much q
you see body servant catching his mas
ter's pecuiiariiics. The excellence of these
inferior wines when they are pure is aston.
ishing to stranger.
do not believe exaggerate when state
that seven tenths of the peasant OF Bur-
gundy drink better wine than most of the
/" Pomard" which pa SEES current in North
America for Pomard. I take Pomard be-
cause it is one of the more abundant Zine"
Burgundian wines. As for Chambertin, no
drop Of it ever passed an American throat.
There is CREST deal of excellent and cheap
wine in France which never leaves the coun-
try, and still more which never leaves France
under its true name. The effect of the COM
bined action of the great wine proprietors
will be to make the public familiar with the
name Of inferior wines which they have
been drinking in an impure state u: der IA
nous names, and at prices which are not
warranted b., the cost of the wines. No.
body W II pay Chambertin prices for lk Gin
dm dnNs Of Burgundy, which he has been
drinking all along for pure Chambcrtin
wine. Wines will grow cheaper. If pur.
chasers take little pains, wines will be pur
chased purer than they can now be GOT
Your wine sellers had better be CAUTIOUS
The association intends sending agents ev-
erywherc withorders to prosecute all frauds.
and the French government will shortly ia.
sue instructions to their agents to give all
possible support to the renresentat;ves ~
