Lisbon,
a
quantity
of
which,
during
the
last
season,
(in
consequence
of
there
not
being
a
sufficient
supply
of
inferior
Bucellas,
to
meet
the
demands
of
those
who
required
a
second
description),
was,
I
understand,
made
up
to
bear
some
likeness
to
the
genuine
Bucellas,
and
in
some
instances,
the
better
qualities
of
it
were
actually
shipped
as
such.
The
method
of
manufacturing
a
second-rate
qua-
lity
of
spurious
Bucellas,
to
the
Dry
Lisbon
I
have
just
mentioned,
so
as
to
pass
for
the
genuine
ar-
ticle,
is,
by
the
admixture
of
Cape
Bucellas;
(a
Wine,
which
bears
some
resemblance,
in
point
of
character,
but
which
still
retains
the
earthy
flavor
by
which
all
Cape
Wines
are
so
well
known)
a
portion
of
Thin
Dry
Lisbon,
and
a
quantum
of
Brandy
Cowe,
which
latter
is
highly
serviceable
in
diminishing
the
body,
and
giving
the
whole
a
light,
delicate
appearance.
This
composition,
with
a
proportion
of
about
one
half
of
the
genuine
Wine,
produces
that
which
is
advertised,
and
sold,
as
1
Fine
Old
delicately
pale
Bucellas,'
remarkably
cheap,
for
ready
money
only.
TENT.
So
little,
that
is
disposed
of,
by
our
advertisers
and
placnrders,
under
this
denomination,
is
the
foreign
and
genuine
Tent
Wine,
that
although
upon
the
whole,
in
comparison
with
other
Wines,
but a
small
portion
is
sold
;
yet,
the
impositions,
of
which
it
is
made
the
medium,
deserve
a
short
no-
