in
the
districts
where
the
Wines
are
made,
was
considered
so
utterly
worthless,
even
as
the
most
ordinary
beverage
amongst
the
lower
classes,
be-
fore
our
Placarding
Dealers
provided
so
excellent
a
channel
for
its
consumption
in
England,
that
the
sin
was
frequently
committed
of
throwing
large
quantities
of
it
away,
to
the
great
pecuniary
loss
of
our
advertisers,
and
the
privation
of
the
tastes
of
our
consumers.
The
composition
thus
de-
scribed,
after
the
requisite
portion
of
coarse
in-
ferior
Brandy,
has
been
introduced,
(to
prevent
it
turning
sour,)
and
the
whole
of
the
mixture
has
been
properly
coloured
and
flavoured
by
a
prepa-
cousidered
that
the
chief
of
the
wines
are
made
in
the
south
of
France,
may
he
better
conceived
than
described.
The
juice
which
is
thus
procured,
produces
that
which
is
called
the
'
second
quality
wine.'
The
third
quality,
which
is
that
made
use
of
in
manufacturing
the
extremely
cheap
Wines,
now
shipped
to
England
in
such
vast
profusion,
is
derived
by
a
retreading
of
the
remains
of
the
grapes,
contained
in
the
vat,
with
the
naked
feet,
and
by
the
occasional
addition
of
large
quantities
of
water,
which,
by
washing
the
pulp
of
the
fruit,
becomes
impregnated
with
some
portion
of
vinosity.
This
liquid,
after
being
fermented,
and
undergoing
its
proper
treatment,
forms
the
'
third
quality
wine'
and
not
only
assists
in
manufacturing
a
commodity
of
French
Wine,
to
sell
at
a
very
cheap
rate
in
this
country,
but
also
offers
itself
to
our ad-
vertisers
in
its
genuine
slate,
to afford
them
the
means
of
giving
their
customers
the
choice
of
a
Wine
at
rather
a
higher
price,
and
as
of
a
superior
quality,
should
such
be
required
in
preference
to
the
lower
priced
Claret,
which,
as
I
have
described
above,
is
made
up
of
various
materials,
though
now
so
modestly
disposed
of,
by
several
of
our
Advertising
Dealers,
as
genuine
'
Vin
de
Bourdeaux.
