Early 1900s Color Booklet for Lake Keuka Vintage Co. Wines & Spirits.

A colorful brochure/trade catalog describing and illustrating the Lake 
Keuka Vintage Co.’s line of wines and spirits and touting their Quality 
as well as some medicinal & therapeutic uses. In a series of charming 
color illustrations, which feature pictures of each bottle, we are told 
that their port and sherry are a boon the the “sick and invalid” 
(probably true), that their claret and brandy are “invaluable for 
nursing mothers” (also probably true in its own way) because “they 
clarify the blood”; that white tokay is a “favorite of the ladies”; that 
their “White Pearl” champagne “is pronounced by connoisseurs to be equal 
to any made in the United States”; and that their star, the bottled 
Champagne Cocktail is a “High-Class beverage, the only Genuine Sparkling 
Cocktail on the Market”. There are also testimonials and price lists, 
advice for buying the best wine, descriptions of the grapes, and other 
most-valuable information.

Softcover. 6.25”x3.5”. 15 pages, color illustrations. Minor soil.
