WINE FROM APPLES.

Experts have been deceived in sherry,
madeira and sauterne which came from
apple juice instead of grapes.
Science has lately made it possible
to obtain good wine from the apple,
which has always been devoted to spark
ling cider.
As the quality of wine depends on
these fungi winemakers have usually
left to chance the kind of wine they
produce, depending on the organisms
which float in the air and attach them
selves to the grapes. These yeasts are
obtained from the sediment in the watts
Of Europe. They are easily propa gated,
and the only difficulty is to separate the
different kinds. The yeasts are sold bot
tied, and are much in demand.
Juice from the apple is fermented
with yeasts of different kinds brought
from the grape-growing districts of
Europe to this country. For instance,
the flavor of sherry is due not to the
grape, but to the infinitesimal fungus
germs that cause it's fermentation.
The American companies import those
germs from the district in Spain where
they flourish, innoculate the apple juice
and obtain fine wine. The same PROF.
ess is followed with other varieties of
wine,
