The Purity of Wine

Miss Kate Field advocates the use of California wine, but Mr. Charles A. Wetmore, who was formerly at the head of the Viticultural Commission of California, and is therefore eminently qualified to judge, states his opinion that not more than one gallon of wine or whisky out of a hundred in Sacramento or any other city is pure, and that retailers keep the poorest wines made, "which are the vilest decoctions imaginable."—Christian Advocate.
