WINE AND ITS USES. 
 
 It has been proved beyond a doubt that wino.of a fair .]uality can be 
 made m Canada, especially in the Niagara peninsula and on the Shores of 
 -ake Kne, while the large extent of land that has been appropriated to 
 the culture of the X'ine within the last few years, and the number of intei:'- 
 gent and scientific men who are interesting the>nsei^es in it, give assurance 
 that no pams are being spared to make native wine one of our staple 
 productions : when this is accomplished, and pure light wine takes the 
 place ot the fiery and intoxicating drinks now so generally and fotally in 
 use, the experience of all wine countries warrants us in believing that to a 
 great extent the temperance question will be solved, and the evils with 
 which temperance societies have been vainly attempting to grapple will be 
 overcome not by an offensive restriction against which the mass of man- 
 kind rebel, but by satisfying a real and natural want with the refreshing 
 and natural beverage graciously given to man to supi)ly it. 
 
 The climate of Canada, however, and its severe cold, must necessarily 
 limit Its production to light and somewhat acid wines, resembling those of 
 the north of France and Germany; and much of the failure of Canadian 
 vintages may be justly attributed to the endeavour, bv the addition of 
 sugar, spirits, water and other extraneous matter, to imitate the more 
 generous and full bodied wines of those hot and arid climates, where the 
 v.ne flourishes in the greatest luxuriance. Wc must always remember, 
 that true wine is simply //.. /.7w;/Av/ yW/a- <>/ f/u- gm/c-any thing dificTent 
 from this niay or may not be wholesome and agreeable, bu't it is «.^ rcw, 
 cmd will fail fully to possess its valuable properties. 
 
 France has been for centuries the vineyard of the earth, and to lier we 
 must stil look, not only for that class of light wines which we may hope 
 evenrually to produce oursehes, but, for others in which her surpassing 
 advantages of soil, climate, skill and experience, place her beyond all 
 competition. ^ 
 
\ 2 
 
 ^ " She is aljle to manuracture, within her own limits, every ilc.cription of wine : from 
 " the harsh product of iicr northern province.;, to the luscious Malmsey of the south ; 
 "from her delicious Champagne and Burgundy, which have no crpials, to her rich 
 " Lunel and Frontignan, ,vith all the intermediate grades of class and quality. The 
 I' wines of France are grateful and beneficial to the palate and to the health. 'I'hey do 
 " not, by being too strongly impregnated with brandy, carry disease into the stomach 
 "at the moment of social joy. They cheer and exhilarate, while thev fascinate all but 
 "coarse palates with their delicate flavour." 
 
 'J'o make it practicable among all classes in Canada easily and cheaply 
 to obtain tiiese wines (whether as a gentle stinuilus to health, as promotive 
 of innocent cheerfulness on the few occasions when in this busy country 
 we can enjoy relaxation ; or lastly, as a restorative and an anodyne in 
 sickness, and a comfort and support in old age), we are continuing, upon 
 a large scale, the importation from the \ineyards, more especially of 
 southern France and of Jeres in Spain, of those kinds which prove to be 
 most adapted to the rei]iiirements and taste of our countrymen. AVithout 
 the assistance of our senior partner, Mr. St. (Jeorge. who is a native of 
 France and has himself large vineyards upon the Mediterranean coast, this 
 imdertaking would scarcely have been possible ; but his practical e.xiie- 
 nence as a wine grower, his intimate knowledge of the localities, and 
 family connection and acquaintance among the vinevard proprietors of 
 France and Spain, combined with his long residence in Canada and ami)le 
 means, have enabled us to attain a degree of present success with a 
 promise of future extension in our business, that we had scarcely anti- 
 cipated. 
 
 \Vine as an ordinary beverage has been little known or used in this 
 country, but there is the highest testimony to its value. Professor Liebig 
 thus writes : 
 
 ^ " In MO part oU.crmnny do the apothecaries establishments bring so low a price as in 
 ''^ the rich cities on the Rhine, for there wine is the universal medicine for the healthy 
 as well as for the sick, and it is as milk to llic aged." 
 
 On the characteristics of wine compared «ith spirits, the same eminent 
 authority remarks— 
 
 " Wine, as a restorative, as a means of refresiimcnt when tiic po^\•ers of life are 
 
 "exhausted, a> a means of correction and compensation where misproportion occurs in 
 
 "nutrition, and the organism is deranged in its operation, and as a means of protection 
 
 ' against transient organic disturbances, w/nc is surpassed hy w product of nature or art." 
 
 ■ And of spirits ; he who drinks them 
 
 "Draws, so to speak, a l^ill on his health, which must always be renewed for want of 
 " means to take it up. He consumes his c.ipita! instead of his interest, and the result is 
 I he inevitable bankruptcy of his body." ' 
 
in 
 
 Dr. Druitt, also, and his remarks are even more applicaljle to our dry 
 and bilious climate than to the more moist one of Kngland, in his valuable 
 little work entitled "Report on clieap wines, " published in 1861, conse- 
 quent upon the treaty with Franc'e, which admitted wine into England 
 almost duty free, (a -vork which, both for social and medical reasons, 
 should be read by every one) writes as follows : 
 
 " Hut it is not only in a medical point of view, i)iit a> a friend of sol)riety and morals, 
 • 'that I venture to advocate the large use of wine — /.(■., pure wine — as a beverage. 
 "There are larye numliers of lowiispeojile, and especially of women, engaged in scden- 
 "tary occupations, who cannot digest the beer whicli is so well suited to our out-door 
 "labouring jjopulalion. The very te.i which is so grateful to their languid, pasty, flabby 
 " tongues, from its astringent and sub-acid properties, and which also comforts their 
 " miserable nerves, has this intense drawback that, when taken in excessive draughts, 
 "and without a due allowance of substantial food, it begets dispcpsia, and that worst 
 "form of it which impels the sufferer to seek a refuge in the gin bottle. Cheap wine 
 " would call off the temptation to gin and with an equal bulk of water, would be found 
 " in many cases a happy substitute for te:i. I know a great deal of the better class of 
 "needle-women and milliners' assist .mts, and sper.k from experience." 
 
 " For purpo«es of social exhilaration amongst clashes who are not out-door labourers, 
 "beer is too coarse. Man, a^ a social animal, requires something which he can siji as 
 "he sits and talks, and which pleases his palate, while it gives some aliment to the 
 "stomach, and stimulates the fiow of genial thoughts in the brain. Xo one who h.as 
 " ever made the experiment will fail to give the jireference to wine over spirits, or can 
 "refuse to give a helping hand 'o .iny 'movement' that will banish spirits to their 
 "proper place, as medicines for the sick .and .aged, and not as bever.ages for the healthy. 
 " Civilized man must drink, will drink, anc'. ought to drink ; liut, it should be wine." 
 
 The late unhai);>y war in France, and subsequent disturbances, have 
 affected our imi)ort itions less than might have been anticij^ated, owing to 
 the remoteness of the great wine districts of the soiUh from the seat of 
 hostilities. In suiae cases, die disorganization of t' lines of railway have 
 prevented or delay^'d the transport of wines from the interior, and more 
 especially from B.irgundy and Champagne, but on the other hand, the 
 scarcity of money and the depression of business have enabled us to make 
 some extensive purchases much below the usual rates, and to give our 
 customers corresponding advantages. 
 
 As a considerable portion of the demand for our Wines has arisen from 
 the adoption of them by medical men in their professional practice, and 
 their consequently extended use by invalids and delicate persons, it' has 
 been suggested to us that a careful analysis of those most used, and 
 especially the cheaper ones, would be useful to show the various propor- 
 tions of the main constituent parts of each description, so that, in every 
 case, the wine most suited to the requirements of the consumer might 
 be selected. 
 
Professor Croft of tlio Toronto University, lias kindly made this analysis 
 
 for us, and we annex his report, with the chemical results given in a 
 
 tabulated form. 'Che higher priced and better known wines being mere 
 
 articles of fashion and luxury, have not been included in this tal)Ie, as 
 
 heir number would make it too cuml)rous for easy reference.

 1 have tal^cn considerable interest in the examination of the Roussillon and 
 other wines of your impo.tintj, on account of tlieir being of a character so much superior 
 to what I expected, i have tested then, by tlie processes of Chevallier, Jacob Votrel 
 and Esenbeck, and n, all cases have founil them to be pure and unadukerated wines' 
 The foliowMig table will show the relative strengths as regards solid matter alcohol' 
 alkaline salt, and acid, tlie latter being calculated per gallon. The alkaline matter is tlie 
 ordinary wine salt or cream of tartar-bitartrate of potash. The determination of the 
 quantity of astringent matter does not seem to be possible, but its relative proportion can 
 be easily distinguished by taste. The Roussillon Wines and Masdeu and some vins 
 d ordinaire have a good deal of it, while in the Alicante it is hardly perceptil^le The 
 Masdeau has the greatest alcoholic strength of all these wines, and the Alicante most 
 saccharine matter.

 SHERRIES. 
 
 Mr. St George last spring aga.n visited Jeres and selected from the BodeRa 
 «t Don Jose Pemartm a stock of Sherries, which we believe will con.pare 
 tavorably with any other importiition. 
 
 The old partnership of I'emartin & Co., consisting of Julian and Jose 
 Femartm, was d,ssolved about f.ve years ago, each partner taking out his 
 share of capital and stock, Don Jose becoming the sole proprietor of the vine- 
 yards. In ,870 Don Julian's business passed into ,he hands of assignees (see 
 Ridley & Co. s trade circular, July, August and October, 1S70). 
 
 Don Jose Pemartin, with the help of li.e vineyards and excellent old wines 
 which fell to his share, is ably supp„r;ing the reputation of the old house of 
 } email, n .V Co. ; and knowing the importance v{ a masters eve in a business. 
 an<l tlu. great advantage of buying direct from the proprietor without the 
 u-asteful interference of agents, we have elected to take our wines from him, 
 and wc thmk our customers will have every reason to be satisfied with the 
 result of the connexion.
