1833171428<p>1833. VEVEY. Fête des Vignerons 1833.

The artist of the work was Christian Gottlieb Steinlen 1779-1847 a resident of Vevey who acted as the official artist for the 1833 Festival see Thieme-Becker.

In that first paper dealing with the role of atmospheric oxygen in vinification he sought to establish that the aging of wine resulted from the slow penetration of atmospheric oxygen through the porous wook casks into which new wine was decanted. By virtue of this slow oxidation he claimed new wine grows less harsh and acid to the taste as it becomes clearer and lighter from the to the taste as it becomes clearer and lighter from the precipation of dark coloring matters. In his second paper January 1864 Pasteur examined the "alterations" or "diseases of wine especially wine from the Jura his native department. Reviewing the familiar disease of "turned" "acid" "ropy" or "oily " wine he associated each with a microscopic organism. He summarized the results of his first two papers by nothing that "wine which is proudced by a cellular vegetation acting as a ferment namely yeast is altered only by the influence of other vegetations of the same order; and once removed from the effects of their parasitism it is made or matured principally by the action of atmospheric oxygen penetrating slowly through the staves of the casks."DSB. </em> unknown

'The following Papers are reprinted from "The Farm" section of the Melbourne "Leader". The writer left Melbourne on 1st September 1874 and returned on the 30th November. The early Papers were written during September in which month the country round Adelaide is seen at its very best. The areas of Gawler Kapunda Kooringa Hill River Estate Clare and surroundings were visited during October and the return journey between Adelaide and Mount Gambier including Strathalbyn Willunga Goolwa Hindmarsh Island Narracoorte and the Drainage Country took place during November' preface. The critical comments on contemporary vine cultivation and wine production make interesting reading. Visits were made to properties and individuals well-known to this day: Davenport Boothby Crompton Auld Mrs Penfold Thomas Elder and Birksgate Thomas Hardie sic and Bankside and 'Clare - Seven Hills and St. Aloysius' College' with numerous 'Notable Wine Growers' in the region mentioned. Many areas significant in the modern vine and wine industry are conspicuously absent in this survey at least in this regard. This item is rare in our experience. Ferguson 9210. E. & D.
