Re: Archives of Wine Labels?



To Curtis Lyons:

If you need images of specific manufacturer's labels for a given
region/appelation and state, try checking with that state's archives to see
whether they hold historic examples of registered trademarks, imprinted
bottle trademarks, etc. You might have to know which individuals or
companies were in business for a given year or era, but old city directories
should provide additional insight in that regard.
