All port wine hitherto exported for the Eng.

Is composed almost as much Of elderberries as
If grapes. The way in which what in Eng
land is called port wine has hitherto been man.
fractured for the London market is this: The
Paiz de Venhaieiro abounds in elder trees
the berries of these trees are dried in the sun
or in kilns. The wine is then thrown on them
and the berries arc trodden Gas previously the
grapes) till it is thoroughly satul ated with the
cUloring matter of the berries. Brandy is then
added in the proportion Of from three to six
teen gallons to every pipe of lis gallons. This
is the composition Of all the port wine hitherto
