What reading level is Report On a Tour of Inspection in the Wine-Growing Districts of Western Europe And Algeria book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Port wines are the produce of a narrow strip of land along the Douro Valley, known as the Upper Cargo.. No wine has been subjected to more fraudulent imita- tions than Port-wines, in Portugal as well as abroad; but ge- nuine ports have remained unequalled in fragrance and mel- lowness or to use a stronger expression, they have proved inimitable.
— 45 — The Port-wine industry is almost entirely in the hands of English firms and some of them can trace back their activities to the seventeenth ce...ntury. In the early part of the sixteenth century some English settlers at Oporto procured these wines at very low prices and either shipped them to England or sup- plied them to the English Fleet which in those times made fre- quent callings at that port. The increasing demand created for these wines induced the original settlers to extend the vine- yards on the Douro, and in 1703 the ((PortO)) wines were grant- ed preferential duties in England by the Methuen Treaty. Ac- cording to this treaty, French wines paid £55 per tun, while Port-wines paid only £7 per tun.
