These differ from each other in the proportion of their constituent principles, and particularly in that of alkohol, which they contain. The qualities of wines depend not only upon the difference of the grapes, as containing more or less of saccharine juice, and the acid matter which accompanies it, but also upon circumstances attending the process of fermentation. New wines are liable to a strong degree of aces- cency when taken into the stomach, and thereby occasion much flatulency and eructa- tations of acid matter ; heartburn and violent painsin the stomach from spasms are also often produced ; and the acid matter, by passing into the intestines and mixing with the bile, is apt to occasion colics or excite diarrhoeas. Sweet wines are likewise more disposed to become acescent in the stomach than others; but as the quantity of alkohol which they con- tain is more considerable than appears sensibly to the taste, their acescency is thereby in a great measure counteracted. Red port, and most of the red wines, have an astringent qua- lity, by which they strengthen the stomach, and prove useful in restraining immoderate evacuations ; on the contrary, those which are of an acid nature, as Rhenish, pass freely by the kidneys, and gently loosen the belly. But this, and perhaps all the thin or weak wines, though of an agreeable flavour, yet as con- taining little alkohol, are readily disposed to become acid in the stomach, and thereby to aggravate all arthritic and calculous ecm- plaints, as well as to produce the effects of new wine. The general effects of wine are, to stimulate the stomach, exhilarate the spi+ rits, warm the habit, quicken the circulation, promote perspiration, and, in large quantities,
