English, as on the record
VINTAGE TIME IN CYPRUS. "The wine of Cyprus as also famous in every part of the Levant, as well as Europé…. A great deal of this wine is sent to Venice and England, and it has this in common with many other wines, that it improves by being at sea. Accordingly an epicure of an Englishman who lived here, used to send his Cyprus wine to England, whence it was sent back again to him at Cyprus." Egmond Van der Nyenburg and John Heyman-1700-1720 (Travels). Harold Lloyd-Carson.
