Preservation by Temperature. 1 Octr 1796. Times - Septr 18.1799.

Old wine meliorated
by keeping large
quantities together in
vats by Spencer and
Perkins Wine Merchant.
N<hi rend="underline">o</hi>. 44 opposite St
Pulchres Church Snow
hill who from 12 years
experience of keeping such
quantities as from 2 to
4,000 Gallons of Wine
together can assert that
their Wine is not only
more agreeable in flavor
to the Palate but more
restorative and whole
some to the stomach of
the aged and infirm.
They have Port which
after oftenhaving been ripened
in a vat containing
20 Pipes has been in
bottles from 2 to 7 years.
White wines as Madeira
Sherry Bucella Lisbon &
Mountain they bottle
from vats as wanted.
This mode of keeping
gives their wines that
decided superiority so
well known & acknowledged.
Such an immense
stock prevents their now
feeling the unparalelled
scarcity of Old bottled
Port wine and enables
them to serve their
friends with superior
wine on their usual
moderate terms for
ready money. They
send to any part of
the town not less
than a dozen free of
expence.

In the export market
Cold Conservatory
the greatest variety
possible of graduation,
a division
for inclusion as
minute as into
degrees and accordingly
a multiplication
of the
Biams according
to the number of
the degrees included
in the experiment.
Hence on observing
the maximum
of temperature at
which each article
will keep has kept unimpaired,
it may
be known before
hand in the great

if it has not
ever gone beyond
the keeping temperature,
may
be depended upon
