Word: gallize Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From German Gall + English -ize (suffix forming verbs from adjectives or nouns with the sense of doing what the adjective or noun denotes), from the surname of Dr. Ludwig Gall (1791–1863), the German inventor who developed the process. Pronunciation: /ˈɡælaɪz/ 1. To add sugar and water to (unfermented grape juice) so as to increase the quantity of wine produced. Labels: British, English, Oxford, US, dated, transitive Example: [page 163] Therefore it is, that to us the knowledge of how to properly gallize our wines is still more important than to the European vintner, and the results which we can realize are yet more important. [...] [page 172] Truth and justice need never fear the light—they can only gain additional force from it. I do not even attempt to sell a cask of gallized wine, before the purchaser is made fully acquainted with the fact, that it has been gallized. Example: The demand for native wines has diminished of late considerably, and their sale rendered difficult; and, although other causes may, in part, account for this, one of them, not to be overlooked, will be found in the prejudice which has been created against them by the public discussion of the propriety of gallizing our wine, and which has furnished a weapon to the hands of the importers of foreign wines, which they have wielded and still wield with great effect against the use of our native produce.
