Hand-book of wines practical theoretical and historical; with a description of foreign spirits and liqueurs

Excerpt from Hand-Book of Wines Practical Theoretical and Historical: With a Description of Foreign Spirits and Liqueurs From the extensive nomenclature of wines it has been deemed desirable to treat of such only as are known in commerce and consumption. To describe every variety therefore would be foreign to the purpose; and even if it were accomplished it would doubtless prove uninteresting to the majority of readers.
