Island
of
Teneriffe
;
and
are
sometimes
called
by
the
latter
title,
because,
the
only
difference
which
exists
between
their
adulteration
and
that
of
Di-
rect
Madeira,
(both
Wines,
when
genuine,
greatly
resembling
each
other,)
is
merely
the
addition
of
a
portion
of
Cyder,
or
British
made
Wine
;
if
the
former
be
used,
all
tendency
to
an
acid
taste,
is
to
be
taken
from
it
by
means
of
Carbonate
of
Soda;
and
all
chance
of
its
retaining
any
fixed
air,
or
ef-
fervescent
quality,
by
the
application
of
one
gal-
lon,
of
strong
Neutral-flavored
Rum,
to
every
twenty
gallons
of
Cyder.
Thus,
in
making
up
a
cask,
or
vat,
of
this
Vidonia
Wine,
add,
as
with
Madeira,
one
twentieth
part
of
Common
Dry
Port,
one
tenth
part
Mountain,
one
tenth
part
old
Cyder,
(after
being
prepared,
as
described)
and
about
a
fourth
part
Cape,
to
the
relative
proportion
of
in-
ferior
Teneriffe
Wine;
and,
according
to
the
opinions of
our
advertisers,
after
it
is
lined,
we
have
a
most
excellent
sample
of the
'
Old
Vidonia
Wines,'
ready
for
sale,
on
the
most
inviting
terms,
as to
character
and
cheapness.

Previously
to
my
speaking
of
the
adulterations
of
this
W
ine,
I
would
make
one
remark
as to
an
im-
position,
very
generally
practised,
in
order
to
avoid
the
trouble
of
making
up
a
composition,
and
also
to
advertise
the
articles,
as
of the
choicest
quality.
This
is
by
the
substitution
and
sale
of
Thin
Dry
