THE Special Features of this Pure Cham

pagne are:-

tatts entire freedom from the usual sugar- candy, ect., consequenly It is fresher, cleaner, and more wholesome than the Liqueured champagnes.

and. Its Dellency, due to the first pressings only of the grapes used: the later pressings make the wine rough and coarse, and necessitate the use of liqueur.

3rd-Its Natural-- Dryness, which, in not aggressive, making it more appetising then satisfying.

4th-No liqueur blng added, the process of re-corking is very rapidly effected, 10 avoiding the large loss of carbonic acid gas-the most valuable property of Champagne.

Champagne should always be drunk cold; but to ball freeze a light, delicate wine by putting it into an ice-pail for the best part of an hour, is to destroy all its fine vinous properties.

In former years, when heavily Liqueured Champagnes, were alone obtainable, a good freezing was necessary to hide the nauseous sweetness of a ten per cent. dose of sugar-candy and alcohol; but consumers now demand a wine free from unnatural, sweetness or alcohol-1 sparkling vintage which can be taken freely at luncheon or dinner, and which will improve, rather ihna destroy, the appetite.
