3. In the fermentation and preservation of pure wine, and during
the operations of fining or clarifying, removing defects, improving
qualities, blending and maturing, no methods shall be employed which
essentially conflict with the provisions of the preceding sections
of this Act, and no materials shall be used for the promotion of
fermentation, or the assistance of any of the operations of wine
treatment which are injurious to the consumer or the reputation of
wine as pure; _provided_, that it shall be expressly understood
that the practices of using pure tannin in small quantities, leaven
to excite fermentation only, and not to increase the material for
the production of alcohol; water before or during, but not after
fermentation, for the purpose of decreasing the saccharine strength
of musts to enable perfect fermentation; and the natural products of
grapes in the pure forms as they exist in pure grape musts, skins,
and seeds; sulphur fumes, to disinfect cooperage and prevent disease
in wine; and pure gelatinous and albuminous substances, for the sole
purpose of assisting fining or clarification, shall be specifically
permitted in the operations hereinbefore mentioned, in accordance with
recognised legitimate custom.
4. It shall be unlawful to sell, or expose, or offer to sell under
the name of wine, or grape musts, or condensed musts, or under any
names designating pure wines, or pure musts as hereinbefore classified
and defined, or branded, labelled, or designated in any way as
wine or musts, or by any name popularly and commercially used as a
designation of wine produced from grapes, such as claret, burgundy,
hock, sauterne, port, sherry, madeira, and angelica, any substance,
or compound, except pure wine, or pure grape must, or pure grape
condensed must, as defined by this Act, and produced in accordance
with and subject to restrictions herein set forth; _provided_,
that this Act shall not apply to liquors imported from any foreign
country, which are taxed upon entry by custom laws in accordance
with a specific duty and contained in original packages or vessels
and prominently branded, labelled, or marked so as to be known
to all persons as foreign products, excepting, however, when such
liquors shall contain adulterations of artificial colouring matters,
antiseptic chemicals, or other ingredients known to be deleterious to
the health of consumers; _and provided further_, that this Act shall
not apply to currant wine, gooseberry wine, or wines made from other
fruits than the grape, which are labelled or branded and designated
and sold, or offered or exposed for sale under names, including the
word wine, but also expressing distinctly the fruit from which they
are made, as gooseberry wine, elderberry wine, or the like. Any
violation of any of the provisions of any of the preceding sections
shall be a misdemeanour.
