Hey Esb,
I wouldn't be surprised if that were a wine bottle. Seeing the top and bottom might help, but maybe a language expert will translate and help you out.
Your bottle is very cool. [sm=thumbup1.gif] I have the same in amber. CONSTANTINOPLE no longer exists it is ISTANBUL. I most likely will never travel to Turkey so to have a bottle from there is very nice. Would you email or post a FULL image of your bottle so that I can add it to my library of beers. Thanks.
