WINES. 



365 



A wine may be counted several times in this table ; for instance, if it is at the same 

 time watered, fortified, too much plastered, and artificially colored. The total of the 

 percentages, therefore, adds up to over 100. 



The samples analyzed by me may be tabulated as follows : 



Total number analyzed 70 



Plastered between 1 and 2 grams per cent.. 4.38 



Watered (according to European standards) do.... 12.85 



Artificially colored do 1.43 



Salicylated do.... 25.71 



Sulphured do 18.57 



The percentages are of the total number analyzed ; not of the number adulterated, 

 as in the French wines.
