SHERRY AN OLD-FASHIONED DRINK.

In a recent issue of the London “ Licensed Victualler ” a writer states that there!/is no doubt that the days of sherry drinking are numbered, and goes .on to, say that a sentimental interest was i attached to the late Queen’s fine old sherries, which were sold by auction by Christie in June, 1901, but a London • firm, [who bought a large stock at the sale, .have still a great quantity of wine unsold'. Three lots, however, have been entirely sold out—the pale golden sherry, ■ bottled in 1870, at 90s per dozen ; another! lot, bottled in 1888, at 84s, and a thijrd, bottled in 1870, at 96s per dozen! Very 7 few bottles of the golden sherry!-, known as the Prince of Wales, /at? 10|9s per dozen, have gone, and the demand for the remaining stock is quite limited. - • ■
