Boil a gallon of wine with some beaten oyster and crab’s claws burnt into powder, an ounce of each to every ten gallons of your wine.

Then strain out the liquor thro’a sieve and when cold put it into your wine of the same sort and it will give it a pleasant lively taste.

N.B. A lump of unslaked lime put into your casks will keep the wine from turning.
