Magnus Shiraz?

Actually, I think the space between the label top and the screwcap is too long.

We WANT MORE.

Very good Mel.

Close, its the riesling, I thought the lable top was the clue but the darker bottle would fool you...

Petrus. The paleness of the yellow confused me. I would never, ever cheat. Cheating is wholly against my principles. Mind you, I'm happy to collaborate on quizzes!

More, please, but am just off to have lunch.

I am searching online and in books, to check.

A wine name ending in an O or a P.......

It's your link on Flicker - but can I find that JPG

CPC = Chateau.

It's none of the 1855 classification.

What a fine idea GK. The Magnus looked too fat because of the shortening, fooled me too.

Thank you sir.

Ive kept them fairly simple, brands etc., for now. The last one is a little more tricky.

Anyone got it yet?

I may have exhausted my library. To me, it looks Cal or Spanish, or perhaps Aus.

Is it something that we might find in a Waitrose store?

Can barely type. Must go out so that it'll feel warmer when I get home. Haven't given up, but will come back to it later.

The O on the end might not be the brand. It could be the region or variety, although I can't think of any...except Tempranillo or PG and PG wouldn't be red. That brings me back to Spain.

:x
