Tastes Wine for a Living


 of the list of strange calIings followed by women, that of wine-tasing is one of the most curious and lucrative As a matter of fact, Mile. Colliners whosa vices are in great demand in France. Germany and Italy as a wine-tast is said to make an incline of about f5O00 A year. many firms employing her for regu- lar work and frequently for special duty.
 Only half dozen women wine-tasters have been known to history, the most re- nowned of these being the wife of a fa- nous London wine merchant Mime. Pom mery, who died in Paris 12 years ago, and Signora Sousa who has a great reputation in Spain on account of her judgment and knowledge of wine.
 Wine-tasters, it appears, are born, not made. and must possess the gift of q rare and delicate palate. To thls, of course, must be added knowledge of wines. Mile. colinere's taste is so fine and her knowledge of wines such that she cln discern from the first taste of a wine just where the grapes grew from which 1t was made, whether they were raised in California or in the vineyards of France Germany or elsewhere She can easily detect adulterations of any sort, or if there is blend, and of which wines. and can tell the age of A wine almost to a day. As matter of fact, there are no secrets that a bottle of wine can with- hold from this remarkable Frenchwoman once she has a spoonful of it in her mouth.
 She does not swallow the wine Tn fact, she Is teetotaller, and if she were to drink wine would lose her subtle marie of taste. Furthermore, she is obliged to take the greatest care of her health She must be well in order to do her work, for her sense loses its cunning when she gets out of health.
