Excerpt from Enological Studies: The Chemical Composition of American Grapes Grown in Ohio, New York, and Virginia Equally important from the point of view Of vinification is the sugar content of the grape. The only source Of natural alcohol in wine is fermentation of the sugars which exist in the original grape. These Sugars exist in combination with other bodies, many Of which enter into the finished product and serve to give it character and quality. In fact, the smaller the quantity of alcohol which can be secured in the finished wine, and at the same time permit of its manufacture and keeping, the better. Other things being equal, the wine which has the smallest percentage Of alcohol is to be preferred] The data which have. Been secured indicate the varieties of grapes which give the best percentage of sugar for proper fermentative purposes. These studies will lay broad and deep the foundation for the prao tical working out of the problem Of the utilization Of grapes for the various purposes for which grape products are employed. While the work has been carried on under the general direction and supervision of the Chief of the Bureau Of Chemistry, the details of it and the technique'of the processes have been in the hands of Mr. William B. Alwood, who has given to the work his undivided attention and has with enthusiasm and success attacked the many problems which have been presented.
