Wine Labels, also known as decanter
labels or bottle tickets, adorn decanters to identify their contents - wines,
spirits, sauces, toilet waters or medicines.
Labels: Silver wine labels are particularly
attractive; other appealing materials include silver plate, colourful enamels and
mother-of-pearl. Silver wine labels are different from paper wine labels,
which are not covered by the Circle.
The Circle was founded in 1952
by collectors of silver wine labels and today has
some 170 members in a dozen countries and warmly welcomes new
members, whatever their interests or knowledge.
Meetings take
place in the Spring and the Autumn to view and discuss silver decanter labels and
labels in other materials. Plans for the future meetings and details of
earlier meetings are on the
Meetings page.
Publications include a twice yearly Journal
(Spring 2010 mailed late March)
and two Books “Sauce
Labels” and “Wine Labels 1730-2003 A Worldwide History” - both available
from the Circle at attractive prices.
Latest News
includes details of fairs, the
Spring Journal mailing; and planned publications on champagne labels. The Links page shows
other websites of interest.
