Wine, Spiced, or Bishop. — Make several incisions in the rind of a lemon, stick cloves in the incisions, and roast the lemon by a slow fire. Put small but equal quantities of cinnamon, cloves, mace, and allspice into a saucepan with half a pint of water. Let it boil till it is reduced one-half. Boil a bottle of port wineWine, Spiced, or Bishop ; bum a portion of the spirit out of it by applying a lighted paper to the saucepan. Put the roasted lemon and spice into the wine, stir it up well, and let it stand near the fire for tep minutes. Sub a few knobs of sugar on the rind of a lemon, put the sugar into a bowl or jug with the juice of half a lemon (not roasted), pour the wine into it, grate some nutmeg into it, sweeten to taste, and serve with the lemon and spice floating in it. Oranges are sometimes, used instead of lemons. WIN ( 1137 ) WIN Wine, Strawberry.— Bruise and press out the juice. Pour on the marc seven gallons of water; infuse for twelve hours, and press out the liquor ; add this liquor to the juice, and mix them with six gallons of cider. Dissolve in the mixture sixteen poimds of raw sugar and three ounces of powdered red tartar, and then set it to ferment in the usual manner. Pare the rinds of two lemons and two oranges, and, together with the juice, throw them into the fermenting-tub, and take out the rinds when the fermentation is over. Three gallons of brandyStrawberry Wine may be added. Wine Test, Dr. Paris's. — " Expose equal parts of sulphur and powdered oyster- shells to a white heat for fifteen minutes, and when cold add an equal quantity of cream of tartar. These are to be put into a strong bottle with common water to boil for an hour, and the solution is afterwards to be decanted into ounce phials, adding twenty drojjs of muriatic acid to eacli. This liquid will precipi- tate the least quantity of lead from wines in a very sensible black precipitate. As iron might be accidentally contained in the wine, the mm-iatic acid is added to prevent its precipita- tion." Wine Vinegar. — Wine vinegar is pro- perly the vinegar of genuine foreign wines, methodically prepared as in Germany, France, and Italy, and does not include those made from cider, malt-wines, or made wines of any description whatever. All wines, especially those of a weak kind, either spontaneously, or by repeated fermentations, may be converted into a kind of vinegar. Wine Whey, White.— Take half a pint of new milk and dilute it with an equal quan- tity of hot water ; boil both together, and while boiling pour in at the moment two wine- glassfuls of white wine. A curd wiU form, which, after the mixture is boiled for two or three minutes, will settle at the bottom of the saucepan. Strain the whey carefully from the curd ; it should be perfectly clear. Sugar may be added to please the taste. "Warm white- wine wheWhite Wine Wheyy promotes perspiration, and hence it is useful in the commencement of some com- plaints ; but taken cold it has a different effect, and often in cases of low fever it is an excellent beverage; also in the early stages of con- valescence it is as safe and sufficient a stimulant as can be given."
