Re: RE: Re: Apostrophe crimes

"They say I used apostrophys wrong - fake news! Fake news. We have the best apostrophys, they just didnt understand what I said. Fake news, so sad." Is it childish to point out there's no "y" in apostrophe/apostrophes; or the missing punctuation in "didn't" when it's c...

Re: Fake whisky

Self-promoting drivel. 18 bottles of suspected fake whisky tested, 2/3 proven fake, story spun as 2/3 rare whiskies must be fake. All rare whisky should be carbon-dating-tested, says a person who is purported to get a commission from the company doing the carbon-dating testing. But draw your own con...

Re: Berisford Vintage Character Port

I'm aware of a number of Berisford sherries, bottled (possibly 1970s, due to stated units of measurements) from solera & criaderas systems established in the late 1800's/early 1900's - also shipped by Capital Wine & Travers Ltd, Harwich. So I might suspect Berisford to be a brand name - with...

Re: differing labels on feist port bottle

Entering an old thread here... but was just about to post similar enquiry as I have received a bottle of Feist Cuvee 1951. Bottle front is block-stenciled "Porto Feist Cuvee 1951". From back label: Imported for the Italian market, barrel aged, bottled in 1973. Agree this to be a Tawny or C...

Re: Wine Auctioneer

Everyone loves a good mystery, right? How about this mystery bottle then??? The only identifying mark is what remains of the number 10 to the right of the cap-seal, in worn orange-red wax - assumption is a 1910 Vintage Port. In the absence of jdaw 's new book, can anybody identify further??? :990066...

Hi Gus, I'm the director of Wine Auctioneer. We've sold a couple of Lots of Warre's 1977 Vintage Port (and have another Lot in current auction). Based on our sales history, I'd suggest likely selling price of approximately £50 per bottle. In terms of condition, labels do fall off, that's natural and...
