WHOLESOME VINTAGES

NOTABLE HENDERSON PRODUCT FROM “BIRDWOOD” CELLARS A contemporary had the temerity a few days ago to state that truth was the strangest of r.ll arguments. Mr. M. Ujdur, the proprietor of the famous Birdwood Vineyards at Henderson, is the last in the world who would contribute to such a strange and illogical claim. By experience, as a manufacturer and one whose products go to the public, he has always recognised that truth, and its many ramifications, is the very basis of success in life. It is the great fundamental upon which he has built a reputation as a wine expert in all its branches. This is demonstrated by his fine display of wines and cider at the Winter Show, where many people are becoming acquainted with the unassailable high quality of “Birdwood” vintages. There is no pretence about these lines or about their maker. He does all his own cultivating, planting, fermenting, bottling and distributing, so that he is well able to guarantee his production and retail it at prices that make supreme wines come within the reach of the public at reasonable prices, not inflated by the essential cost of extra labour. Mr. Ujdur knows what good wine means. He was born in big vineyards in Dalmatia, worked in the best vineyards in America and has operated his own vineyards ever since _he came to this Dominion. He says it is unnecessary for him to go to any authorities for analysis or tests and it is equally unnecessary to enter into competitions to demonstrate the quality of his manufactures. His wines are guaranteed value an. he prefers the expressed appreciation of customers and the growing number of repeat orders. VOLUNTARY TESTIMONIALS In his show display are excerpts from satisfied clients all over New Zealand. "Your wines are simply delicious, so please send another case. ‘The order was received in perfect condition and we are thoroughly satisfied with the value,” and ‘‘l had your wine at the marriage of my daughter and my guests celebrated happily, expressing exceptional praise upon the vintages supplied,” are some or tne convincing tributes which Mr. TJjdur receives, It is to be noticed that the actual letters are shown and these are strong recommendations which include testimonials from the medical profession. Whether it is port, sherry, Frontignac, claret, apple-cider, wine-vine-gar, cider in bulk, vinegar in bulk, "Birdwood” Vineyards offer a splendid range of choice vintages to please the most fastidious of palates. * uli printed particulars are supplied on reqUThat Mr. Ujdur is a man of integrity is indicated in the position he holds as president of the New Zealand v iticultural Association, an honour conferred upon him by the growers of th Dominion.
