Rev. Dr. E. Nott, late President of Union College, in his fourth lecture says: “That unintoxicating wines existed from remote antiquity, and were held in high estimation by the wise and good, there can be no reasonable doubt. The evidence is unequivocal and plenary.” “We know that then, as now, inebriety existed; and then, as now, the taste for inebriating wines may have been the prevalent taste, and intoxicating wines the popular wines. Still unintoxicating wines existed, and there were men who preferred such wines, and who have left on record the avowal of that preference”—Nott, Lon. Ed. p. 85.
