We think the large chart is perfect for framing and hanging in a bar, restaurant, wine cellar, or home.
It is a chart, by year, of the amount of liquor imported from 1800 to 1824, with the number of gallons and rate of duty, or tariff, for each.
These are grouped by Madieras; Burgundy, Champagne, Rhenish, and Tokay; Claret and other wines; Lisbon, Oporto, and other Portugal Wines; Teneriffe, Fayal, Malaga, St. George, and other Western Island Wines; and All Other, when imported otherwise than in Bottles or Cases.
