A Summer Amongst the Bocages and the Vines, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Summer Amongst the Bocages and the Vines, Vol. 2 of 2

A master vigneron, after his vintage is com pleted, and the husks of the grapes alone left; has boiling water poured upon them, and filling casks with this, allows the mixture to ferment until a drink is procured which is the strongest that either he or his men ever indulge in: they are never known to be intoxicated, or to exceed in any way the bounds of temperance; they are good masters, and honest in all their dealings: like the Bretons, they have peculiar and not very gallant notions with respect to the weaker sex.
