Some of the sweet wines contain nearly one-fourth of their weight of saccharine matter. Some kinds of muscat yield 24.5 per cent, of an extract containing 22 per cent, of sugar. Red Sauterne contains less than one per cent, of extract and Hermitage 1.7. Small as the quantity of sugar in some wines it is of great import ance in diminishing the sharp taste of the free acids and imparting an agreeable flavor to the wine. a a a n ti 66 12 "25 66 9 "11.5 66 24 « 25 66 8.5 "10.5 66 10.5 "14 66 14 "18
