GRAPE

WINE

Two

quarts

of

grape

juice,

two

quarts

of

water,

four

pounds

of

sugar.

Extract

the

juice

of

the

grape

in

any

simple

way;

if

only

a

few

quarts

are

desired,

we

do

it

with

a

strainer

a

pair

of

squeezers

;

a

large

quantity

is

desired,

put

the

grapes

into

a

cheese-press

made

particularly

clean,

put-

ting

on

sufficient

weight

to

extract

the

juice

of

a

full

hoop

of

grapes,

being

careful

that

none

perfect

grapes

are

used,

perfectly

ripe

and

free

from

blemish.

After

first

pressing,

put

little

water

with

pulp

press

a

second

time,

using

the

juice

of

the

second

pressing

with

the

water

to

mixed

with

the

grape

juice.

If

a

are

bottles,

filling

them

even
