The Daily Cincinnati Republican, And Commercial Register

The Paris Wine Market is the finest market in the world. Its completeness (and one may almost call it grandeur) leaves nothing to be desired. It borders on the river, in length of nearly 2500 feet, being fenced in by an iron railing from the quay, and walled in on the other three sides. The area enclosed does not differ largely from that of Boston Common. This is divided into five streets, each occupied by single blocks, of buildings for vaults the whole distance, with three more immense ones appropriated to brandies, in the rear. The different species of wines are kept in the various streets which are named accordingly Rue de Champagne, de la Cote d'or, &c. The business is certainly on a great scale, and the arrangement exceedingly ingenious. Nearly a million of casks can be comfortably stowed here. It gives one a faint notion of the wine trade of Paris. They drink a most enormous quantity of it, good, bad, or indifferent, at breakfast, dinner, or lunch.—The "Annuaire du Bureau des Longitudes" rates the consumption of the article in Paris, 1834, at about twenty millions of gallons; not to mention four millions pounds of grapes, with a relish of brandy and beer in proportion.—Boston Times.
