OFFICIALS PUZZLED
OVER WHAT'S WINE
Dividing Line Between Real
Article and Imitation Is
Cause of Worry.
By JUDSON c. WELLIvER.

What is wine?
This one has nothing to do with the
ancient puzzle about whisky. The
pure food authorities want to know
what is wine, in order that they may
know how to advise about admins
tering the tariff.
There is Biblical authority for the
definition that wine is a mocker,"
but that doesn't help the Bureau of
Chemistry much. strong drink"
likewise, sis raging" but nowadays
il RACES mostly about the persistent
extension of droughty areas through
the activities of the Anti-Saloon
League.
problems before the Bureau of Chem
istry. The makers of the tariff bill pro-
posed to raise some additional revenue
by imposition of taxes on those classes
of spirits-the brandies-that are used to
'fortify'' wines. That's easy enough to
write into schedule, but what can be
used to fortify wine, how much of 1t and
when does wine cease to be wine,
having been fortified or diluted or
otherwise disguised?
Is Difficult Problem.
The way the discussion is opening,
there is reason to expect that it will
make as difficult problem as the
old one of what is whisky" which
kept the pure food authorities in hot
water for years and was the subject
of more decisions than any other issue
in good many years.
Wine, ii is intimated by high au-
thority at the Agricultural Department.
10 the fermented juice of pure grapes
Just take the juice out and let II
stand long enough, and it will ferment:
There's no doubt that the product of
that process is wine.
But suppose a little sugar is added
to suit the taste-and help the fermen-
Iation? Is it still wine? Yes. All right.
Then II a little water be added also?
Still wine?
suppose then that the proportions of
sugar and water are expanded by enter
prising manufacturers indefinitely;
what about that? At what point does
the resultant connection cease to be
The same category with the concoction
of neutral spirits and prune juice that
Attorney General Bonaparte declared
should be labeled imitation whisky
And Then Suppose
Again. suppose the manufacturer,
after the best juice is squeezed out of
the grapes treats the residuum of skins
and seeds, extracting some more grape
this with some brandy and sugar and
other things, makes a different sort of
wine? Is that also to be regarded as
just wine without any qualifications,
under the pure food law?
There are two food Law decisions on
the subject thus far. and they conflict
sharply, indicating that the new conun-
drum lis started well for a race with the
old whisky discussion. By the time the
new tariff act takes effect ii will be
necessary to make some more decisions.
II is discovered that. as in the case
of whisky definitions of wine are hard
to get which serve any useful purpose
in administering food law or a tariff
taxes-
Apparently the Government is going
to be forced to make its own definition
of wine, and before IL does 1t will have
the manufacturers and importers on its
back. providing expert testimony. all of
II devoted to the purpose of proving
that the product of the particular dealer
involved is the real thing.
