A FACT !!!
The Official Journal of France states:-
"93,273 Hectos of Brandy were disililed from wins, September, 1896 to 1897. "2:353,129 Hectors of Brandy (?) were exported and consumed in France." Vis, the exports and consumption of all kinds of Brandy were more than 25 times the quanily of seal Brandy distilled."
It follows that a very small proportion of Brandy exported from France is made from Wine. We have for many years used a blend of FRENCH GRAPE BRANDY with WINE BRANDY from ether countries. This enables us, to sell & PURE WINE BRANDY at a On Fixed Deposits for 12 months... 4 per cent. moderate cost, and by judicious blending the characteristles of the French Spirt are retained. Our
