To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir: Now
that the importers and proprietors OF
restaurants and hotels have raised the
prices Of champagne and other foreign
wines, why is 1t not the time for al! good
American citizens to buy and drink
American chanpagncs and other wines?
Those who have never used tho better
brands OF American champagne will be
pleased to find their high quality.
II may not be generally known that
two-thlrds Of all the domestic champagne
Ia produced In New York State, where
the Industry was established some forty
years ago. and the region Is wen known
In the wine trade AZ "the champagne
district of America" Here sparkling
wines are made In exactly the same way
as they are IN France. and in many cases
by native French wine makers and ex-
pcrts.
II stands TO reason that these wine
makers can turn out product as good
AS or equal To the foreign article Prac-
tlcally the only difference Is that the
grapes are OF different variety. but
that certainly does not affect the quality
OF the wine to any extent. as fair test
or trial Will prove. LOUIS JAMES.
