the
Bottling
of
Wine
is
performed.
Fine
clear
weather
is
best
for
bottling
all
sorts
of
wines
;
and
much
cleanliness
is
required.
The
first
consideration
in
bottling
wines
is
to
examine
and
see
if
the
wines
are
in
a
proper
state.
The
wines
should
be
fine
and
brilliant,
or
they
will
never
brighten
after.
White
wines, before
being
bottled,
must
go
through
the
process
of
fining.
For
1
hogs-
head,
(or
any
quantity
in
proportion,
more
or
less,)
take
2
ounces
isinglass,
and
dissolve
it
in
1
quart
water,
and
mix
with
2
quarts
of
the
wine.
Red
wines
are
fined
by
beating
to
a
froth
the
white
of
7
eggs,
and
mixing
them
with
3
times
the
bulk
of
water
;
then,
adding
2
quarts
of
the
wine,
mix
well,
and
pour
it
into
1
barrel
of
your
wine.
The
bottles
must
be
all
sound,
clean,
and
dr;y,
with
plenty
of
good,
sound
corks.
The
cork
is
to
be
put
in
with
the
hand,
and
driven
well
in
with
a
flat
wooden
mallet,
the
weight
of
which
ought
to
be
li
pounds,
but,
however,
not
to
exceed
li
pounds
;
for,
if
the
mallet
be
too
light
or
too
heavy,
it
will
not
drive
the
cork
in
properly,
and
may
break
the
bottle.
The
corks
must
