therefore, often imitated and more often adulterated with other vine- 

 gars, which are also frequently labeled and sold in its name. 



(2) Wine vinegar, or grape vinegar, made by the fermentation 

 of the juice of gTapes. It contains not less than 4.0 per cent of acetic 

 acid, 1.4 per cent of gTape solids, and 0.13 per cent of grape ash. 

 It is the principal vinegar of European commerce, and with the ex- 

 ception of apple cider vinegar is the most desirable. 



(3) Malt vinegar, made by the fermentation, without distillation 

 of an infusion of barley malt or cereals whose starch has been con- 

 verted by malt. It contains not less than 4.0 per cent of acetic acid, 

 2.0 per cent of solids, and 0.2 per cent of ash. 



(4) Sugar vinegar, made by the fermentation of sugar, syrup, 

 molasses, or refiner's syrup. It contains not less than 4.0 per cent of 

 acetic acid. 



(5) Glucose vinegar, made by the fermentation of glucose sugar, 

 glucose, or glucose syrup. It contains not less than 4.0 per cent of 

 acetic acid. 



(6) Spirit vinegar, distilled vinegar, or grain vinegar, made by 

 the fermentation of dilute distilled alcohol. It contains not less than 

 4.0 per cent of acetic acid. It has but little flavor other than that of 

 acetic acid, and is usually colored with caramel to simulate other 

 more desirable vinegars. 



Fraud is practiced by selling one vinegar for another, or by adding 

 a cheaper variety to a more expensive or desirable one, and selling it 

 as the more de>irable article. The great demand for apple cider 

 vinegar causes the manufacturers of other vinegars to label their 

 products "Apple Vinegar," "Cider Vinegar," "Fruit Vinegar," or 

 "Family Vinegar," which is a fraud to the consumer and an unjust 

 competition to the fruit industry.
