In this country, how- ever, grape vinegar has not met with especial favor, principally because most of that placed on the market was made from spoiled wine by unskillful meth- ods. When made from good material by proper methods it is as good here as in France, and as good grape vinegar con- tains about eight per cent of acetic acid, which is twice the legal standard, its use is more economical than ordinary vinegar, even though it costs double the price of cider or apple vinegar. Since the first steps in making vinegar are identical with those for making wine, a large part of the present equipment of a winery can be utilized for the new industry. Grape vinegar can be made for approximately the cost of wine or a little more, and it is possible to pay from .$15 to .$20 per ton for grapes, (or about what they are sold for wine- making purposes) and still make an ex- cellent grade of vinegar to sell at 25 or 30 cents per gallon, wholesale. Although the market for vinegar is somewhat limited, it is thought that from one to two million gallons of grape vinegar can be disposed of annually in this country. In an effort to devise all possible means for converting wine grapes into a profitable crop, the government scien- tists have reported that certain of the by-products of the manufacture of grape juice, syrup and vinegar can be saved and sold. The pomace from a ton of grapes weighs from 250 to 350 pounds, and contains valuable matters, such as sugar and cream of tartar, which can be extracted and used. The seed, which constitute about four per cent of the weight of the grapes con- tains an oil that is used for a number of purposes in the industrial world, and the press cake from which the oil has been extracted can be used for stock food, or it can be leached for the re- covery of tannin.
