Updated: May 17, 2025

In this connection, it may be interesting to know that the small twelve-gallon casks of red wine, resembling Burgundy rather than claret, but less heavy than the Australian wines, and forming a delicious drink with water, are delivered at one's own door carriage free for a price which works out, including duty, at 8-1/2d. the ordinary bottle, or 1s. 2d. the flagon, such as the Australian wine is sold in.
