WINE AUSTIONS TO BEGIN
AGAIN IN GERMANY

Treves, Germany, Nov 10 The
wine auctions of the 1915 vintage in
the famous Moselle district are soon
to begin with big profits expected
markably high quality but also the
yield was almost phenomenal. Wine
experts have exhausted their vocab-
ulary in trying to find terms to de-
scribe it. Following the example of
previous years they have adopted
nickname for last years vintage, and
the term selected not only expresses
their Judgment of wine but also
prediction that Germany will come
out of the war victorious; they call
the 1915 vintage the Victorious"
The wine yield of 1915 was SO
large that the auctions will have to
be arranged in series through No
vember and December, while a part
will be carried over to the spring
auctions. The grape harvest last
year was so abundant that many
growers did not have casks and 9TH
er vessels sufficient TO accommodate
the vintage, and many grapes had to
be sold. And as for quality the ex-
perts assert that no such wine has
been made on the Moselle since the
year 1898.
