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. |

Yeah, but I reckon that Dunc is right. It's 'devils' backwards and, a deliberate joke. What proof-reader missed that ? |
