A Costly Tipple.
The most costly wine is, without doubt, that contained in a cask named the " Rose," in the Bremen Town Hall oellars, Bremen. It is Budesheim Bh.ine wine of the year 1653, and the cask is replenished by degrees, whenever wine is drawn, 1^ with carefully washed and dried gravel. The wine has at present the .colour of dark beer, and a very hard taste, but an indescribable aroma. It is never sold, but destined exolusively||fc'lhV. siok of Bremen, who receivf^ 1 very email quanity on production of a doctor's certificate. At present tW supposed value of this unique wine has inot eased so that a bottle (containing eight glasses) would cost 4,500,000d015., a glassful 562,500d015., and a drop sCOdols. The only persons who were ever presented with a small bottle of this wine were the Emperors William I. and Frederick and Prince Bismarck.
