1914 Beverages de luxe

For further medical evidence regarding Sautenies, I quote Dr. Mauriac, of Bordeaux. He say.s in one of his works: "The great Sauternes white wines, which are of a rela- tively high alcoholic strength, are both tonic and stimulating; consumed moderately, they are invaluable to convalescents after a severe illness, or when it is necessary to revive an organism extenuated by high fever, hemorrhage, or long fatigue. They are perfect as dessert wines, and one or two glasses at the end of a meal facilitate digestion and i)rovoke gaiety." In short, as a French i)oet has it "Un rayon de soleil concentre dans un verre." Or, "A concentrated ray of sunshine in a wine glass."
