WHAT is WINE?" NOW
DIR. WILEY'S DEFINITION.
He Says 1t Must Be Made from
Grapes, but Makers Think Otherzcise.
[Frcm Tn. Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington. Aug 1.-THE familiar question:
What is whiskey?" promises to have counter
part in the query. What is wine?' DR.. Harvey W.
Wiley the pure food expert Of the Department OF
Agriculture. has made ruling which Is a reply 10
the latter question. but his findings probably
will not be satisfactory to many wine men, the
query may continue TO be source Of troubls 10
the governments chemists for soma time.
DR.. Wiley has announced that wine must De made
from grapes, which is a much more rigid definition
than that Of the famous French wine merchant.
who said that the beverage could be made from
anything-"eyen grapes"
The wine question brought to the attention
of the bureau of chemistry result of the prac-
tice OF certain American wine manufacturers OF
adding water and sugar 10 the grape juice and
making about three gallons Of wine from about
one gallon OF grape juice. DR.. Wiley holds that
this adulteration is In violation of the pure food
and drugs act and that wine adulterated
not be labeled and sold wine.
Some Of the manufacturers insisted that they had
TO add sugar TO the wine in order TO overcome the
acidity OF the grapes, especially grapes grown in
the northern part OF the United States. Another
practice Of the wine manufacturers. which meets
with the disfavor Of the governments experts. is
the making of second grade OF wine out or the
seeds and grapes that remain in the presses. ths
bulk of the liquid being water.
Another objection of the bureau of chemistry Is
to the labelling Rhine wine OF wines made in
this country from domestic grapes II is asserted
that this practice contravenes the pure food and
drugs act, Rhine wine can be made only from
grapes grown in Germany.
