NEW TASTES IN WINE
SHERRY REPLACES COCKTAIL. EFFECT OF FLAT-DWELLING. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Nov. 11. The head of one of London’s most famous wine firms, with which he has celebrated half a century’s connection, 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, he said. His firm was storing thousands of bottles of wine for flat dwellers who had nowhere to put it. It should not be beyond the skill of architects to provide some wine storage in flats.
