DEDICATED To My Collection Of Wine Bottle Labels That I Have Collected Over The Years As A Recollection, A Souvenir, To Use In My Art Work And To Share With The World As It Is A Big Part Of Our Wine World And Wine History

Hello! Here are some wine labels that I have collected over the years and want to take this opportunity to finally share some of them with you as I continue to daily / weekly collect them.
 

I used to do it old and hard way and soak them off the bottles, that was long and laborious and time/consuming and yet, I did it anyway, a labor of love that I largely did in Paris, France and then when we returned here to Washington D.C. and northern Virginia in the early eighties.

I hope you enjoy these. Being an artist I have recently assembled them in many collages for you all to appreciate. I think that helps to tell a more interesting story.

For awhile now I have collected them in a pretty efficient and easy way. I use a razor blade and I cut   them from the boxes that they are on when we have received them in the stores that I have worked : from Burka's Fine Wines, The Mayflower Wine And Spirits, MacArthur Beverages and now Cleveland Park Wine And Spirits : all store in Northwest , Washington D.C.

Please feel free to comment and to share any observations, and to tell us about any that you may have?

I have been doing this since the early seventies in Paris, France and now here since 1980 here back in the Washington D.C. metropolitan region. It's Thursday, August 28th,2014 as I start this.

Many of the labels will be scanned and added in this fashion as it is easier and more fun. Anthony / TONY/ Quinn
