Report on the Vttioultuke Exhibit. 247 



number of wine makers exhibited in all the five classes for wines and 

 brandy as named in the official classification, viz.: Class 126 — White 

 wines; Class 127 — Tied wines; Class 128 — Sherries, Madeira and 

 Port; Class 129 — Sparkling wines, and Class 131 — Brandy. Details 

 of the names of exhibitors and the products shown are given in the 

 catalogues. 



A very creditable exhibit of wines was made other than those from 

 the grape, such as currant, elderberry, raspberry and blackberry wine. 

 Of unfermented grape juice six manufacturers sent exhibits. This is a 

 comparatively new product, being non-alcoholic, but embodying all there 

 is ill the grape, except the skin and seeds. A novel and interesting 

 feature was the exhibit of cider brandy made by nine different pro- 

 ducers, seven of whom received awards. Thirty-one New York exhib- 

 itors of wines and brandies received awards.
