Treatment of Champagne after it comes from the Wine-Press--
Racking and Blending of the Wine-- Deficiency and Excess of
Effervescence-- Strength and Form of Champagne Bottles-- The
"Tirage" or Bottling of the Wine-- The Process of Gas-making
commences-- Inevitable Breakage follows-- Wine Stacked in
Piles-- Formation of Sediment-- Bottles placed "sur pointe" and
Daily Shaken-- Effect of this occupation on those incessantly
engaged in it-- "Claws" and "Masks"-- Champagne Cellars-- Their
Construction and Aspect-- Transforming the "vin brut" into
Champagne-- Disgorging and Liqueuring the Wine-- The Corking,
Stringing, Wiring, and Amalgamating-- The Wine's Agitated
Existence comes to an End-- The Bottles have their Toilettes
made-- Champagne sets out on its beneficial Pilgrimage 48
