WINE THAT IS NOT WINE.
Germany Annually Sends Us Thousands OF
Gallons OF Manufactured Stuff.

Berlin, Nov. Recommending upon the
enormous exports from Germany to the
United States of artificially prepared
wines and inferior spirits and beers, the
Berlin Neuste Nachrichten says that
since the passage of the Wine act by the
Reichstag in April. 1892 in regard to the
adulterat ton of wines and alcoholic bev-
erages. immense quantities of liquors
have been brought into the market under
the name of wines at such low prices as
to prove that it is impossible that they
could have been prepared III accordance
with the law.
"A certain Rhenish firm" the paper
says. SELLS annually thousands of casks
of wine in the composition OF which there
cannot possibly be anything beyond a
merely nominal percentage of grape
wine. and other instances of production
of absolutely artificial wines might be
given to the exhaustion of the capacity of

menf of some remedial legislation imme-
diately and suggests the passage of "a law
