PORT WINE
FROM PORTUGAL ALONE.
LEGAL DECISION. Australian and N.Z. Cable AssociationLONDON, October 21. The King’s Bench has decided that wine cannot be sold in Britain as “port” unless it is the produce of Portugal. Descriptions like “Australian port” are false under the Merchandise Marks Act. The matter arose out of a suit by wine merchants to prevent the sale of Spanish wine under the label of “Tarrogoni port,” declaring such sale to be a contravention of the Anglo-Portu-gue&e Treaty and the Merchandise Marks Act. The claim was upbcld. The Chief Justice declared that there was no room for argument.
