Back label, french wine, in english. Headings are 'style', 'grapes', 'storage' and 'slived' (sic)

Slived tells us that it is best served chilled and will keep in decent condition for 2 days if re-sealed.

Slived anyone ????

Good idea Mr D.
A printers devil used to be an apprentice who fetched & carried, especially type settings.
What a wizard wheeze by someone.

NWR

If we talk about the inky little devils running around in a Printers Chapel, the'll think we've gone mad ! Or need help :wink: Happy little devils. An era when Mikey and Mouse were names handwritten on the front of a Fleet Street wage packet.

Sadly now (as many others) closed down. Was very near the local newspaper building. Pity about the apostrophe.
