18TH CENTURY LIVING HISTORY IN AUSTRALIA.

An 18th Century Ship's Decanter-Timbertown Port NSW.

Recently my youngest son and my Daughter-in-law bought me a bottle of port for my Birthday. The bottle looked very familier, so I did a search. This bottle is very representative of an 18th century ship's decanter. They purchased this port from Timbertown here in NSW, it is about 3 hours drive away. Timbertown is a 19th century theme village, & they make their own wines.

 The top is sealed with a cork and a wax seal.

Lucky you! And reycleable bottles are good, as long as the next bottle isn't a plastic "refill." ;-)
