WINE TRADE.
ANGLO-PORTUGUESE TREATY. PROPOSAL NOT FAVOURED. 3Y CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON. May 9. The Morning Post’s suggestion regarding an Anglo-Portuguose wine treaty does not find favour in the wine trade, whose leading newspaper says, without wishing any harm to. the British Empire interests: “The proposal seems to ns both unpractical and undesirable. and it would be bad for all parties concerned, especially consumers, if the definition attached to port by the treaties was fundamentally altered. That definition should be allowed to stand, hut the abuse to which it has been subjected by the increasing importation of lower strength wines should be stopped, and ports of alcoholic strength clearly established. South African port can only be a type of port. It would be just as reasonable to al'ow margarine to be sold as butter. —A. and N.Z. Cable Assn.
