The culture of the grape in Algeria has developed slowly during the last twenty years, and, at the present time. several excellent wines are made in that country, the soil and climate of which are particularly favourable. Some of these wines were shown in the Paris Exhibition of 1878. The vineyards of Oran, Maecara, and Tlemcen furnish fine red wines ; those of Bane and Douera excellent dry white wines.
Austria produces annually, on au average, 3,242,146 hectols. of wine. The Austrian territory which produces the largest quantity is Lower Austria and Dalmatia. The Tyrol, Styria, Austro Illyria, Carniola, and Moravia come next. The northern provinees also produce wine, but it is of au inferior kind. Austrian wines are both red and white, the latter being dry. Some localities produce liqueur wines, and sparkling wines are made at Vaslau, in Lower Austria and near Graz, in Styria. All these are made on thoroughly sound and good principles.
The production of wifie in Hungary is estimated at 2,798,520 hectols. annually. The most oelehrated Hungarian wines are Tokay, Szamorodni, Szalmabor, Menes-Magyarat, Rust, Saint George, Sopron, Sumlo ; these are all fruity or liqueur wines. There are also many very highly esteemed dry wines, both red and white, made in Hungary and Transylvania ; some of these are noted for their excellent bouquet. Hungarian wines are exported to Austria, Prussia, Poland, Russia, and England ; a very small quantity only is sent to France. In the Exhibition of 1878, Hungary was represented by three hundred exhibitors, with more than 860 samples of ehoiee wine : red, white, fruity, dry, and sparkling.
There is but little wine made in Switzerland, though there are a few vineyards which produce very superior wines. The red and white wines of Neufchatel are much esteerned. In the canton of
Vaud, there are three good brands, namely, those of Yvorn, Lavaux, and Lacote. The canton of Valais produces what are known as " Glacier " wines ; aud that of Zurich au excellent brand known as Neftenbach. Swiss wines are carefully prepared.
The soil and climate of Spain are in every respect admirably adapted for the eultivation of the grape. The wine produced by this country in the year 1878 amounted to 10,510,026 hectols., which, considering the extent of the country and its remarkable advantages, is not hy any means a large quantity. Spain produces winee of many different varieties. The fruity wines of Spain have been noted for centuries for their exquisite qualities of perfume and flavour : the most celebrated are the wine of Xeres, or Sherry, Malaga, and Rota; the next in order are the wines of Mon tilla, Valdepenas, Cariliena, Peralta, and Sitges. Spain produces also some sparkling wines. Sherry, Malaga, and Montilla come chiefly from the province of Andalusia ; the two Casliles furnish the wines of Toro, Rueda, Seca, Nava del Rey, Villarubia, Ocana, Yepes, Arganda, San Martin, and the celebrated Valdepenas. Saragossa, Catalonia, Aragon, and Navarre produee many esteemed red and white wines, of whieh the best known are these of El Campo and Carifiena. Finally, the provinces of Valencia, Murcia, Alicante, Caceres, and Badajoz furnish some very fine brands, amongst which may be mentioned those to which one of these provinces has given its name, the winee of Alicante. Spain was represented in the Exhibition of 1878 by 1536 exhibitors.
Portugal enjoys the same favourable conditions of soil and climate as Spain, and like the latter country ie justly renowned for the quality of its wines. By extending the cultivation of the grape, however, Portugal might easily double its annual production, which during the years 1874, 1875, and 1876 inclusive, amounted only to about 4,000,000 hectols. The wine-growing districts of Portug,a1 are the following :—Douro, Traz-os-Montes, Minho, Beira-Alta, Estremadura, Alemtejo, and Algarve. The average yield of the Douro is about 400,000 hectols., comprising the famous " Port," which is so largely consumed in England ; and some other wines, as those of Muscat, Malvasia, Bastard°, &c. The second district, that of Traz-os-Montes, produces about the same quantity as the Douro ; they are very light, dry, and aromatic. All the other districts produce more or less excellent wines.
