Vin De Grave Irish Wine Label

This rectangular wine label has the desirable combination of a rare name and maker on an Irish label. The IE makers mark is either for James England or John Egan of Cork and the date can be quite accurately - the inclusion of a duty mark dates it to at least 1807 and the shape of the punch to pre-1809. The label is in good order throughout.

 Graves is a sub-region of the wine growing area around Bordeaux and is situated on the left bank of the Garonne, upstream from the city of Bordeaux.
