To that end he is collecting information on acid content and sending letters and petitions to the Treasury Department, which has the power to review such classifica- tions. Until any change is made, he will have to work within the 35 percent dilution level allowed for other fruit juices. So far, cranberry wine produced at the 35 percent level has been somewhat sour and relatively low in alcohol content (seven percent ver- sus 10 to 14 percent in most wines). Von Elbe's present research, however, may provide the informa- tion needed to make standard wine at the 35 percent level. He predicts that by next fall the benzoic acid tests will have uncovered berry varieties low in that compound. The key will be to match such a low-acid berry with a high-acid tolerant yeast. Such a combination, according to Von Elbe, "should allow us to produce a standard-quality cran- berry wine which will compete effectively in the ; Should a successful formula be developed, Von Elbe plans to make it available to wine producers in the state. At present, only one Wiscon- sin winery produces a cranberry wine (non-standard) in any quan- tity. John McCann, of Fruit of the Woods Wine Cellar in Three Lakes, estimates that the winery turns out 5000 gallons of cranberry wine a year. He doubts that he would take FOR SALE WESTERN PICKERS Call Bob Hiller 617-866-4788 617-748-0041 advantage of a formula at 3! percent, as the government doe not allow both standard and non standard wines to be produced or the same premises, and because ru is pleased with the success of hi: present wine. i FULL PROTECTION.
