Attention should be had to bottle in fine weather, when the wind is north, but to avoid cold and frosty weather. The months of April and October are favorable. The forcings proper for claret, are the whites of a dozen eggs, beat up with a teaspoonful of fine salt, and well worked with a forcing rod.
