Sale Of Wines
Setting Record

Sales of wine In the state. part
ly brought about by he rationing
Of hard liquors, are bringing totals
of wine volume up to the biggest
year yet enjoyed by the Washing

j. c. Sans. vice president Of
Washington Wine council, an or
ganization of virtually all WASH
ington wineries.
Since the industry In this
state Is only seven years old
this year, the increased sales
are being felt In the agricul-
ture of the state, Sans pointed
out. With this years wine,
the fruit growers have sold
10000, 900 pounds Of WASH
ington fruit to the wineries
since 1885, the year the In
dustry began.
Washington wines owe their
existence to the legislature that
met in 1888. Sans stated. In that
year a bill was enacted which
gave the struggling local industry
some advantages in trade distri-
button. but required them to use
Washington fruits exclusively
even though local crops were
shorter and prices were higher
than In other states.
Results have proven the wisdom
of the law. for In that first year
Of business the wineries used
about 100000 pounds of fruit and
this year purchased approximately
100000 pounds of grapes.
apples. berries and other fruits.
Increased business of this year
means that next year fruit require
ments will be increased by as
much as one-third.
