XI. The Question considered, whether England formerly produced any Wine from Grapes. By the Reverend Mr. Pegge
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
It has been a prevailing notion, that England formerly produced some wine; and something in support of that opinion was offered to the Society in 1763, on the introduction, progress, state, and condition, of the vine in England, and the memoir was so well received as to merit a place in the Archaeologia. A gentleman of great knowledge, however, a considerable Antiquary, and a worthy member of the Society, has since been pleased to combat this notion, and to assign certain reasons for his dissent, in that noble and very elaborate work Observations on the more ancient Statutes, &c. p. 207, & seq. Whence it should seem a duty incumbent upon me, either to give up the point in question, or to invalidate his arguments; and the latter, under the Society's favour, I propose here to attempt, with all proper deference and regard to the superior abilities of the Honourable and very learned Mr. Barrington.
