Regency Dish: Mountain Wine

In a recent recipe we shared for Melon Citron there was a call for mountain wine, and a reader was curious what mountain wine was.  I was, too, so I did a little research and here is what I came up with:

MORTIMER, T., Dickinson, W. (1819). A General Commercial Dictionary … Second edition, with … alterations and additions by W. Dickinson. United Kingdom: (n.p.).

And as I always like to verify with a second source:

Ward, R. (1869). The Child’s Guide to Knowledge: Being a Collection of Useful and Familiar Questions and Answers on Every-day Subjects, Adapted for Young Persons and Arranged in the Most Simple and Easy Language. United Kingdom: Simpkin, Marshall, & Company.

Thank you, readers, for always continuing to inspire me to keep digging and learning more!
