may

be

estimated

as

a

Wine,

evidently

depends

only

upon

the

skill

of

the

advertiser,

in

rendering

his

advertisements

attractive,

as

this

process

com-

prises

the

manufacture

of

the

article,

of

Champagne,

alluded

to,

as

that

which

is

offered

to

the

Public

at

so

cheap

a

rate.

That

no

great

art

is

required

to

make

this

mixture

bear

a

resemblance

to

Still

Champagne,

must

be

pretty

obvious,

and

I

doubt

not

from

the

following

more

particular

re-

view,

of

the

manner,

in

which

the

operations,

I

have

just

partially

described,

are

carried

on

in

France,

quite

as

clear

an

inference

will

be

drawn

of

the

ease,

with

which

Sparkling

Champagne

is

revived

out

of

that,

which

had

been

considered

useless

and

unwholesome.

The

whole

of

the

vapid,

ropy

Wines,

and

such

as

in

any

other

way

may

have

become

spoiled,

are

specially

collected

together

for

the

purpose,

by

the

Wine

Factor,

and

after

selecting

from

them,

those

which,

from

their

condition,

are

capable

of

being

re-converted

into

saleable

Sparkling

Champagne,

they

are

thrown

into

separate

reservoirs.

A

por-

tion

of

third

quality

Wine,

of

each

kind,

and

of

the

last

vintage,

is

then

added

to

refresh

them

;

a

partial

re-fermentation

is

occasioned

in

that

in-

tended

to

represent

the

prime

Still

Champagne,

-which

renders

it

of

a

dryer

character,

and

destroys

any

latent

tendency

to

retain

fixed

air,

and

the

ap-

plication,

to

both,

of

strong

chemical

agents,

in
