Help with handwriting
Evening all, maybe someone can help me read the names in this document (cellar list from a customer of mine). An abstemious lot as evidenced by the second photo but by then they were living in the Victorian era

Justin has asked me to post his photos:
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Was writing bottle some sort of writing quirk in those days?

Re: Help with handwriting
I'm not sure that is "le" in the superscript though. None of the other letter e are written that way. It looks like an l then an s. bottls. Which is still a bit strange

Lots of other old English too. Been instead of bin. Seald rather than sealed. Bottled abbrieviated to bottd. Number abbrieviated to nobr.

I’ll do a draft transcript over the weekend… for wine label people this stuff is current spelling.
