Abstract
THIS little treatise on wine-making is essentially encyclopedic in character, and as such calls for only a brief notice. The author is evidently familiar with his subject, and in the limited space at his disposal has been very successful in reviewing both the scientific and economic position of the French wine industry. There is nothing novel in the scientific questions discussed in this book, but some of the economic questions brought forward are not generally recognised in this country. For instance, here we have been inclined to regard wine growing in France as only in process of recovery from the devastation wrought by phylloxera, and it comes as a surprise to be told by the author that the wine-growers of his country are at present suffering from the effects of over-production.
