Perhaps we are aiming too low in this world of technological advancement?

Could a device be developed that could "see" inside an unopened OWC to report back on the levels of each of the dozen bottles regardless of the opacity of the glass?

Tasting note required from travellers...

I am rather jealous that you had the opportunity to visit an André Simon shop.

I have almost all of his 104 books

Rather surprisingly I seem to be in London on a Thursday evening when a gaggle of 1970s are to be consumed.

Please put me down for Croft.

Warre LBV1986, Fonseca 1970, Fonseca 1985 & Croft 1970 all in first equal place

Hello, Unfortunately the bottles in the first three pictures are almost worthless - perhaps £30 for all three on a good day at auction. The bottle in the fourth picture is not Port and I have no idea of its quality or value. I would suggest you either drink them or give them to a friend who might ap...

Could you please post more information about the bottles, including details of how you came to own them, for how long, how have they been stored, the level of the wine in the bottles and ideally some pictures.

Interesting.

I have a batch of "believed Fonseca 1966" that have been reliably corked each time I have pulled the trigger. I will re-cork the remaining bottles and report back in 2037

“C on D 2½%”, being a discount for cash, would be consistent with then standard practice. The "or" in front of 2½% is the clearest part of the note, so your suggestion doesn't make sense. Perhaps "Cash for 2½%"? Also, do the pencil notes before the price of each bottle say "paid"? If so the red tic...

Could it be "C on d or 2½ %"?

Being cash on delivery or 2½ % interest for credit

Hi,

I assume "St Michael" is the old brand name used by Marks & Spencer?

I'm sorry to say it isn't worth much at all - perhaps a tenner - and is likely to be past its best. It will probably still drink ok so I would suggest you open it with some friends.

Sorry chaps, I am not going to be able to make this due to work commitments taking me away from London.

Enjoy!

For the purposes of testing this you could force the software to output CMYK or RGB somewhere on the sheet.

I made a query with Taylors and got the following reply: ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Dear Sir, Thank you for your enquiry.

Another victory for JDAW, who alerted the Symingtons to Winston Churchill's connection with this port a few years ago

Perhaps a professional in the world of film arts could register and find out more?

I have searched for it before without success.

Perhaps an email to the British Film Foundation would prove useful?

Billy,

Are you sure you are describing these correctly?

You mention a "minuscule leak" and then say the bottles are 3/4 full. Those two descriptions seem incompatible.

Would you be able to post some pictures showing the fill level of the bottles?

Three bottles delivered today from The Whisky Exchange.

Hi Cory, Christopher & Co. were a prominent UK wine merchant in the 19th and 20th century and bottle Port produced by many different producers. What you have is a very old bottle of very basic Port. Ruby Port can be purchased from around £8-£12 per bottle today and it is a style that is not designed...

The National Archives list this company as "Garnett Brothers Ltd, wine and spirit, tobacco and cigar merchants, ale and stout bottlers", so they do seem to have had a bottling line but it was possibly only for ale and stout.

Can you please clarify whether you want help with identifying them or drinking them?
