Of the above quantity have been exported from 400 to 800 
leggers of wine, and from 30 to 100 of brandy, annually, be- 
fide the Conftantia ; the reft has been confumed in the town. 
So that the whole export value of wines, including the Con- 
ftantia, and the brandy, may amount, one year with another, 
to about 50,000 rix dollars, or 10,000/. currency. 
The gradual reduction of the quantity brought up to town, 
as appears in the table, is no proof of the diminution of the 
quantity manufaftured, but fhews rather that the wine farmer, 
by being in a condition to increafe his ftock of calks, is enabled 
to keep his wine at home, and not obliged, as be ufually was, 
to deliver it to the wine merchants in the Cape at their own 
price. This circumftance has contributed not a little to the 
melioration of the colonial wines.
