EAST SIDE WINE MAKERS.
A Quaint Industry Transferred From
sunny Italy to New York.

A Quaint Industry Transferred From
sunny Italy to New York.
From the New York World.
The creak of primitive italian wine
presses may be heard any day at this sea-
SON of the year in the dingy tenement
houses of the Italian quarter. This old in
dustry has been carried bodily from the
Italian vineyards and set down in the
most crowded section OF New York. The
machinery is of the kind used more than a
century ago in Italy. The presses, which
are of oak, are covered with the accumu-
lation of many yards of cobwebs. This
vintage of Mulberry street does not COM
mand fancy prices. 1t is only mildly III
toxicat:ng, but the product is very popular
In the gloomy little wine shops in the base
ments along these crowded thoroughfares
The supply Of grapes for this curious in
-dustry is obtained from upper New York
state. 1t affords an excellent opportunity
for the grape dealers TO dispose of their
surplus stock as well as for the fruit
which is good for nothing but 20 be dump
ed into the river The Italian wine press
ers CT New York city usually manage to
secure what grapes they want for about a
cent a pound. At this season Of the year
the grape growers up the river are very
Well stocked. They are in the habit OF
storing large quantities of grapes during
the summer in the hope tha: a better price
may be had during the winter. The trou-
BILE is that SO many of the grape growers
come to the same conclusion that the mar
ket is glutted when the demand is expected
to be greatest.
This gives the italian wine pressing in
dustry of Mulberry street just the opportu-
nifty II needs. The Italians bes.ege the
stores which receive these grapes almost
constantly at this season in the hope of
finding bargains. They bring their greasy
money and their push carts along with
them, and when a satisfactory bargain is
high with the fruit and start homeward.
It is familiar sight to see the carts laden
In this way crossing Broadway in the
vicinity of City Hall en- route for these
curious d!stillerieS.
