We note that those interested in the American
wine trade predict that the present distur Dances
in Europe will so demoralize the wine growers
on the other side that there must be an increased
demand for the home made article. We do not
doubt that this view is TO some extent well
founded. But the trouble with the American
wine heretofore has been not so much the for
eign competition as the hi Ugh prices demanded for
1t, considering its average quality. The cost OF
case Of sparkling wine OF home production.
for instance, has generally ranged very nearly
as high as that of foreign champagne of ordinary
brand, Notwithstanding the fact that the latter
has had to bear enormous tariff duties. with ex-
change, and the premium ON gold, importers
profits, etc. and the same is also true of the
majority of still wines. Believing that the
American wines are inferior to those of foreign
make, our people have thought there should be
larger difference in the price, aud hence have
refused to patronize home products. Whether
the war will work a change, remains to be seen.
Our fear Is. that, acting on the principle which
generally actuates American manufacturers
the wine producers here will run up their prices
on the strength Of a falling OF in the foreign
supply, and so throw away the chance of getting
the Use Of their article well established at home.
