So the vintner needs to make his calcu- lations how best to comply with these general instructions. In proportion to the number and capacity of the keeping casks, quantities should be pro- VINICULTURE OF CLARET. 81 vided, each just sufficient for one filling up. AVhere the quantity is small it is best to have the wine in bottles to avoid loss and prevent injury. This is the practice in countries where fine wine is made and matured, as in Burgundy and the Medoc, where it is kept in barrels of on...ly 228 litres. A very simple and effective method of keep- ing the casks full is to drop in perfectly clean quartz pebbles. It is easy to understand the reason for all these precautions; since if the wine used for filling up were not of the same quality, or con- tained any principle of alteration, it is clear the disease would be communicated to the whole. Later on when the wine has been put into pipes or smaller casks, and when it is conven- ient to pile them one upon another, and it be- comes difficult to keep them full, the proper course is to place them with the bung on one side, so that it may be kept moist and exclude air.
