SOME DUBIOUS WINES
Although the alcoholic strength of beer has been appreciably reduced "serious difficulties continue to be experienced in meeting all demands," said Mr. David W. Madden, chairman of New Zealand Breweries, Ltd., when addressing the shareholders at their annual meeting this week. He took the opportunity of stating that the company had conformed strictly to the Government's policy of reducing the alcoholic strength of beer. The company's brewery staff was to be congratulated on the manner in which they had met the manufacturing problems involved. "It is significant," added Mr. Madden, "that there has been a noticeable increase in the demand for beverages, made from a variety of materials, and sold under the name of wine. These beverages are manufactured often under unwholesome and unhygienic conditions and are of unrestricted potency."
