Experiments on Wine .
BY DKi RPECE.
From the trventh member of the .Gazette 9/
It jfr proper to^observe, that til
wines naturally possess a proportion
of ateoliol (ardent spirit)) but to
the fbrtign wines a quantity is ad
ded tc n prevent their running into
acetQUS fermcntaiioa duriiig their1
voyage to this country, and this is
proportioned t& the quality of the
winey In order therefore to Ascer
tain the quantity the diffcrent_wirifes..
[ ^onriin on an average, the experi
. mem* have been made on wipes
*fioq|, different venders. Brandy
and rum arc* sqld at different de
grees of strength ; indr cd, some
tertard white brandy and wiiitexum
arc highly rectified. The bripdy
artd c^n employed in the following
eweriments, were obtained from a
reipcctaMe wine merchant, " who
wa* desired to *c:n<J samples of the
articles as -g&efaJly qojfi fo thfc pub -
lie.--. : , ;
A jbottle of port wine, contain- i
in g ounces wbi?fi had been in
;4>oule seven years, produced 2
ounces and 7 drachma of alcohol
_ (aoit^pii it ) * - -
Ditto of port wine, containing
25 -y ounces (ofie year in bottle and
two years in wood) z ounccs, 6
drachms. \ v--r-:-- " ~
Ditto of pale sherry, 3 years
old^ontaining s 5 ounccs, produc
to of Madeira, two years old,
containing i j {-ounces, a ounces
5 drachms. |
r Ditto cape ditto, one year old, ]
containing a j ounces 2 4 ounces.
Ditto old hock, <^jpkurin<r ?1
ounces, nearly an ounce. .
Ditto pbrandy containing 24 |
-ounces, 10 ounces.
Ditto rum, containing 244- ounc
es, 9 i ounces.
A quart of public hopse ale (not
bottled) from the brewer/ of Mr.
Wyatr, 1 ounce.
From a quart of common draught
Porter, from the brcjjctjr of Messrs.
Elliott and Co. 5 's drachms. ?||
From the foregoing results, k
appears that frur bottles, either of
Port, Sherry, br Madeira, contain
more ardertt spirit than a bottle of
brandy. ,<i
Three bottles of Sherry are
nearly equal to one bottli of rum.
That io bottles of hock, or 10
?uarts of ale/ or 14 J- quarts of
'orter, 'art equal to a bottle of
brandy.
The residuum ?if port .wine con
tartaric acid than that of Madeira.
Jn one bottle of port, a small por
tion of vitriolic acid was detmed.
The hock also contains a consider-*
ablr portion of tartaric add* . The
residuum of the rum contains raw
,ar, and the brandy burnt sugar,
h a pungent atom * tic, resem
bling' capsicum. The residuum of
the ale and porter was very bitter,
and the 'spirit of the former wasl
slightly flavored with the essential
oil of . the hop. Both contain sac
charine matter.
As a tonic medicine, the prefer
ence is generally given to port wine,
on account of its astringency, but
in cases of indigestion and irritabi
lity of the bowels, the tartaric acid
is a very great objection to it.
When this wine is on (What the mer
chants term) the fret, it is a prac
tice with some to add to it a lictle vi
triolic acid, which more effectually
checks itthan brandy >*? Sherry wine
appears to be the best ? fermented,
and. more free from tartaric acid and
saccharine matter than any- other.
however, at best only a dilute
spirit ? Brandy is preferable to rum,
on account of being entirely free
from sugar. A
The legislature of Georgia at
their last session passed a section of
the new penal code, which inter-*
diets, under .very severe penalties,
the introduction of slave* into this
state by negrotradeia for- specula*"
tion ? subjecting to a fine of tooo
dollars and to five years imprison
ment irt the penitentiary, the pefson
who shall bring into the state a
slave, and sell, or offer fof sale,
-such slave within one year thereafter t
with the exception only of emi
grant* from other states, who 'are
allowed to bring with them, aodi
dispose of aithey may think proper,
slaves wht> are their bonafide pro
l*rty. ? It will be observed, that
the section above alluded to, does
not prohibit residents of this state, '
or others, from bringing negroes
into ii for their own use , bot subjects
them to the severe -penalties of the
act, if they sell or offer them for sale
within a specified time
