Andy

Good news/Bad news

As suggested, I have peeled back and photographed and have managed to read the cork. The bad news is that as the metal came off a small amount of seepage was revealed, the cork is not in great shape either, almost falling apart. Can anyone advise on a course of action to preserve the contents? I hav...

Unknown port

I would welcome any help anyone could give me in identifying a bottle I recently acquired. If it helps, I believe the lettering underneath is C25G, 7, GBC

Regards
