Earliest foil capsules
Posted: 08:51 Sun 06 Jun 2010
After buying three undated bottles yesterday, with very ancient glass and foil capsules, I got to thinking "when did foil capsules first appear?"
Looking through my cellar, the oldest foils that are reliably original date from 1904 (1906 bottling date). I also have some Andresen 1884's with foils, but these are probably Colheitas, and may have been bottled later.
- Any older foils out there? (or evidence of them..)
