T okay Wine, wine produced in the above country'. Thereare four sorts of wine made from the same grapes, distinguished atTokay by the names of essence, auspruch, masslach, and the com-mon wine. 'The essence is made by picking out the hall-driedand shrivelled grapes, and putting them into a perforated vessel,where they remain as long any juice runs off by the mere pres-sure of their own weight: This is put into small casks. Theauspruch is made by pouring the expressed juice of the grapesfrom which the former had been picked out on those that yieldedthe essence, and treading them with the feet. The liquor thusobtained stands for a day or two to ferment, and then is pouredinto small casks, which are kept in the air for about a month, andafterwards put into casks. 'The same process is repeated on theaddition of more juice to the grapes which have already under-gone the two former pressures, and they are now wrung with thehands ; and thus is bad the masslach. The fourth kind is madeby taking all the grapes together at first, and submitting them tothe greatest pressure ; this is chiefly prepared by the peasants.The essence is thick, and very sweet and luscious ; it is chieflyused to mix with the other kinds. The auspruch is the winecommonly exported, and which in foreign countries is calledTokay, T he goodness of it is determined by the following rules.The colour should neither be reddish nor very pale, but a lightsilver: in frying it, the palate and tip of the tongue should bewetted without swallowing it, and if it manifest any acrimony tothe longue, it is not good; but the taste ought to be soft andmild ; when poured out, it should form globules in the glass, andhave an oily appearance ; when genuine, the strongest is alwaysof the best quality : when swallowed, it should have an earthyastringent taste in the mouth, which is called the taste of the root.All tokay wine has an aromatic taste, which distinguishes it fromevery other species of wine. It keeps to any age, and improvesby time: but is never good till about three years old. It is thebest way to transport it in casks; for when it is on the seas, it fer-ments three times every season, and thus refines itself. When inbottles, there must be an empty space left between the wine andthe cork, otherwise it would burst the bottle. A little oil is putupon the surface, and a piece of bladder tied over the cork. Th«bottles arc always laid on their sides in sand. Phil. Trans. \ ol.Ixiii. part ii. p. 292, Ik c.
