Exlrads from C. H. Hall's Report on Jfative Wine and Hot-house 



Grapes. 



"The committee would respectfully submit an opinion, that the 

 wine from Alabama has not suflScient flavor, astringency, or body, to 

 resemble Port wine. The wine should be called American Hock 

 wine, as it closely resembles some sort of Hock, in color, strength 

 and flavor. It is sub-acid, and of very pleasant flavor, and the com- 

 mittee is decidedly of opinion that it may safely be recommended as 

 an excellent wine for summer use."
