The French official statistics for 1881 confess to 46,000,000 gallons of "wine" made in France from sugar, and 51,000,000 gallons more made from rasins ; while the imports of Spanish and Italian wines for " blending" amount to 154,000,000 gallons. These together are equal to just one-third of the actoal yield of the French vineyards last season, or to one-half of the yield in 1879 ; and no account is here taken of the large importations from Greece, Syria, Asia Minor, and the Levant Islands.
