Mustang wine
Mustang wine is a type of red wine made with mustang grapes, ''Vitis mustangensis'', in Texas.
==History==
Prior to the American Civil War of 1861–1865, Thomas Affleck (1812–1868), a Scottish immigrant and nurseryman who became a Southern planter, made mustang wine on his Glenblythe Plantation located in Gay Hill, Washington County, Texas, and advertised it for commercial sale.〔C. Allan Jones, ''Texas Roots: Agriculture and Rural Life Before the Civil War'', College Station, Texas: Texas A&M University Press, 2005, pp. 148–149 ()〕 He described it as "a pleasant and wholesome table drink" and "a tonic for patients recovering from prostrating fevers, and for Females who may have been long in delicate health."〔 Moreover, he published a recipe, which was used by others and commented upon in the Southern press, as in the ''Southern Cultivator''.〔''Southern Cultivator'', Volume 18, pp. 154–155 ()〕
The wine was sometimes used as a way to thank guests and friends. For example, Dr J. H. Lyons, who went on to serve as the Mayor of San Antonio, Texas in 1865 and again in 1866–67, offered it to guests in the 1860s.〔H. C. Williams, 'Native Grapes of Arkansas and Texas', in ''Annual Reports of the Department of Agriculture'', U.S. Government Printing Office, 1860, p. 35 ()〕 Additionally, pioneer explorer Gideon Lincecum (1793–1874) once gave a bottle and the recipe to geologist George Getz Shumard (1823–1867) to thank Shumard for sending him a copy of his pamphlet entitled, ''Notice of Fossils from the Permian Strata of Texas to New Mexico''.〔Lois Wood Burkhalter, ''Gideon Lincecum, 1793–1874: A Biography'', Austin, Texas: University of Texas Press, 2010, p. 181 ()〕 Presbyterian Minister James Weston Miller (1815-1888), a Confederate chaplain and founder of Live Oak Female Seminary in Gay Hill, also made mustang wine every fall.〔Robert Finney Miller, 'Early Presbyterianism in Texas as Seen by Rev. James Weston Miller, D. D.', ''The Southwestern Historical Quarterly'', Vol. 19, No. 2, 1915, p. 165 ()〕
In the nineteenth century, mustang wine was thought to prevent malaria, and it was often given to children.〔Diana Severance, ''Deep Roots, Strong Branches: A History of the Klein Family and the Klein Community, 1840–1940'', San Antonio, Texas: HPN Books, 1999, p. 72 ()〕
