Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book examines the Victorian wine industry's many forms of adulteration, showing how wine was often imitated with the use of sugar, brandy, and ingenuity. While Champagne, Burgundy, and Claret were often presented as the preeminent wines of France, the author argues that they were frequently non-natural and sophisticated products. The author asserts that the best growths of France were often exported at a higher price, while the public was left with heavily diluted wines often made in the French port of Cette. The book also highlights the prevalence of imitation wines in England, where Port and Sherry were often made with brandy, sugar, and elderberries. The author suggests that the public has a right to expect genuine wines, and encourages them to demand more honesty and transparency in the wine trade. This book presents a valuable historical perspective on the wine industry, shedding light on the practices and controversies that shaped the market's development. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …
