Early 1976, we bought 2 x 5 gallon lots. Boy it was a big day to bottle them. Sample, bottle, sample, sample, etcDSCN8182.JPG

Did a few of those myself, but not from this supplier I think.  Debortolis was one of our suppliers I think.

What a great event it was on bottling day.

ps. I had a disaster with one lot that I got from the Officers Mess at RAAF Amberley.  I stowed my bottles behind my bar in the carpeted lounge room.  A bottle exploded dumping red wine all over the very fashionable yellow & brown shag pile carpet.   Not popular!

As an ex serviceman I think I know why the shag pile was purchased in that colour...
