RE: old or made to look so? - 6/15/2005 8:23:49 PM    Bluebelle   Posts: 181 Joined: 4/16/2004 Status: offline Paul Masson brand California wines were frequently bottled in a carafe like that from at least 1970's on. I don't recall seeing one with the glass "seal" or whatever it is on the front, but that type of carafe is very common, both in winery production and used to decant wines in restaurants for table service of "house" wines.

The carafe is abm and has lots of tiny bubbles and an applied seal. I've often wondered if it has any value other than a decoration. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Life is a Ditch.
