Current Wine.—The following meth
od of making superior current wine, is re
commended in a French publication:—For
currents, 9 lbs. of honey are dissolved in 15
gallons of boiling water, to which, when
clarified, is added the juice of 8 lbs. of red
pr white currants. It is then fermented for
twenty-four hours, and two pounds ofsugar
to every gallon of water are added. The
preparation is afterwards clarified with the
white ofeggs and ream of tartar. White
.currants are said to make the lest wine.
It is much sweeter and plesantcr flavored,
when ripe, for table use. The wine made
from it is nearly colorless, of sweet and
pleasant flavor, resembling the liget sw ct
French win- s. Bottled at a parii.'ii’er
stage, before the fermentation has entirely
subside!?, it makes a very t.-iir champagne.
