Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hand-Book of Wines, Practical, Theoretical, and Historical: With a Description of Foreign Spirits and Liqueurs
From the extensive nomenclature of wines, it has been deemed desirable to treat of such only as are known in commerce and consumption. To describe every variety, therefore, would be foreign to the purpose; and even if it were accomplished, it would doubtless prove uninteresting to the majority of readers.
