Of makjng Grape-Wine, \6l 
the Fruit of the Vine, as they are in Con¬ 
tinents of the fame Latitude 3 yet may we 
propagate this Plant to a good effect in 
fome warm Situations, and efpecially on 
the fides of Buildings, Walls, and 
where there are any ftore of them, very 
good Wine may be made of the great plen¬ 
ty of their Liquor 5 and much better than 
any of the French Wines ufually imported 
here, in cafecaution and skill be ufed in its 
preparation. 
When you perceive your Grapes to be The 
plump and tranfparent, and the Seeds or 
Stones to come forth black and clear, and 
not clammy, and the Stalks begin to wi¬ 
ther, then gather them, for they cannot be 
over-ripe 3 neither will Rain or Froft in¬ 
jure them, fb that the weather be dry fome 
time before gathering. 
Cut them off from the Branches, and 
not pull them, and in the Moons decreafe3 
preferving them from bruifes as much as 
you can. 
Here in this cold Country they are fel- mi , 
dom all of a rtpenefs, and the Stalks con- thewm. 
tain fomething of crudity in them 3 there¬ 
fore it would not be loft labour to cull or 
feparate the more ripe from the lefs, and 
from the Stalks, before you prefs our your 
N Wine 5
