The wine we Drink.

--By some recent development in the Court of Quarter Sessions at New York, a fact of interest to wine drinkers becomes exposed. A witness employed in a wine store testified that some wine sold by him was made of what was called "turnip juice." This was "made to sparkle by gas made from vitriol and marble dust, and then labeled champagne."
