Errata:
Missing or incorrect punctuation in the List of Brands has been silently
regularized.
Expressions such as “132lbs.” were consistently printed without space.
A number of words were printed both with and without umlaut. These have
generally been left unchanged:
Wurzburg / Würzburg
Rudesheim / Rüdesheim
Muller / Müller (also Siligmüller / -muller)
Three occurrences of “Moët” were printed without dieresis. It has been
silently supplied.
