COCKTAILS CONDEMNED
- -"-♦ - INCREASING POPULARITY OF MIERKY LONDON, November 11. The head of one of London's most famous wine firms, with which he has celebrated half a century of service, lamenting some of the changes in drinking habits, said "The cocktail is an abomination, medically, socially, scientifically, and aesthetically. But it will soon be a thing of the past; sherry is replacing it." The biggest change in the wine trade arose from the construction of huge blocks of flats. His firm was storing thousands of bottles of wine for flat-dwellers who had nowhere to put it. It should not be beyond an architect's skill to provide some wine storage in flats.
