@Pantagrueliste @TillmannTaape Is this "foaming" wine, or "sparkling" wine?
Contre les ventosites colique &c Le suc exprime ou leau [illegible] distilee de lescorce dorenge est excellent contre la colique venteuse Lescorce aussi confite est excellente pour les vents de lestomac Et pour en faire preuve Ayant verse du vin escumant dans un verre Exprime du jus dorange sur lescume du vin qui ne provient que de vapeur & vent Et tu verras quincontinent lescume sesperdra Si tu exprimes aussi du just contre la chandelle elle ardra dadvantaige now translated as Against winds, colic, &c Sap squeezed or water [illegible] distilled from orange peel is excellent against the windy colic. Candied peel, too, is excellent for the winds of the belly. And to make a trial of it, having poured foaming wine in a glass, squeeze orange juice on the wine foam, which proceeds only from vapor & wind, and you will see that the foam will immediately disappear. Also, if you squeeze juice against a candle it will burn all the brighter.
Some wines are more sparkling than others because they have been bottled early. They contain more carbonic acid and it makes foam when you shake the bottle. I doubt he is referring to sparkling wine, as its alleged inventor, Dom Pérignon, was born in the 1630's.
