Cardinal's hat in exchange for thii'ty hogsheads of the wine. This was also the favourite wine of Louis XIV. and Napoleon Bonaparte ; it possesses all the soft richness of Pommard and the perfume of Chambertin, without the cloying quality of the one or the headiness of the other. For wines such as port and claret, which always require a little warming to enjoy their flavour properly, there is nothing so good as Ritchie's Patent wine-warmer. It brings claret and port to a temperature for the table without the risk of overheating, every bottle being of the same tempera- ture. It is a tin can with a double lining into which hot water is poured and the bottles are placed in the centre. It is made in different sizes to hold from one bottle to four. Another way of warming these wines is to dip them in hot water for a few seconds after decanting, or wrapping a cloth, wrung out in hot water, round the decanter for a short time.
