Wine of the Week

SOME very respectable wines grown in South Africa, and been grown there for the pasi, years or so. Nowadays, South Af sherry is especially good—the' where it is grown approximat° that of Andalucia; Spanish /for-) and methods are used; and a co-operative SI makes it possible to establish and maintainl soleras for blending. The United Kind' preferential duty means that South African has an advantage here of ls. 8d. a bottle Spanish sherry. This, combined with skilful keting by the South African co-operatives, 01 that very sound sherry indeed can be sold for 13s. 6d. a bottle and less—Saccone and 5 of Sackville Street, actually have a median' `St. Helena,' a very decent wine, suitable sherry-parties or for before-dinner drink as little as 10s. a bottle, which I nominate wine of the week, for sheer value. Now they those people so bigoted and partisan as I') why their drinking money should find its Wa) Dr. Verwoerd's pocket. Let them read on. I am at least as bigoteiji partisan myself. The purpose of this article point out that you can drink a great deal ofi South African sherry and still be able to sew. each bottle drunk, not merely the Is. 8d. prefi tial duty, but perhaps as much as 5s., th:111 Saccone and Speed, to help the defendants '1 South African treason trial. You might eV it amusing to append to your cheques ('` should be sent to the Secretary, Christian tw 2 Amen Court, London, EC4, crossed, 'V` and Aid Fund') a label from a South AI sherry bottle for every five shillings sent.
