Considerable quantities of wine are produced in the Balkan states, but the bulk of this is of a coarse description and only fit for local
consumption
 . The
average
  yield of Bulgaria and Rumania is probably some 30 to 40 million gallons for each country, but in some years it is much larger. Thus in 1896 Rumania produced no less than Io1 million gallons and Bulgaria 81 million gallons. The wine industry in
Greece
 , which in ancient times and during the middle ages was of
great
  importance, has now become, at any rate in point of quality, quite insignificant. At the present time a
great
 
part
  of the industry is devoted to the cultivation of the currant vine (Vitis corinthiaca). There is a considerable export of currants and raisins and concentrated wine must from this country. Many of the islands of the Mediterranean, from which the ancients drew their supplies of wine, such as Chios, Cos, Tenedos,
Crete
  and Cyprus, still produce considerable quantities of wine, but the bulk of this is scarcely to the modern European
taste
 . In
Asia
  wine is produced, according to Thudichum, principally in Caucasia and Armenia. In Persia, also, wines are made, especially in the Shiraz
district
 .
Russia
  also pro. duces a small quantity of wine, principally in the Crimea. (PE.'
