Dow’s Fine Tawny Port Porto by Symington Family Estates Portugal.

The company was founded by Andrew James Symington who arrived in Oporto from Scotland in 1882, and initially joined Graham’s. In 1891 he married Beatrice Atkinson, who was descended from several generations of port wine shippers and producers, the oldest known of which was Walter Maynard, who is known to have shipped port wine already in 1652. By 1905, Andrew James Symington was a partner of Warre & Co and in 1912 he became a partner in Dow’s Port. In 1970, the Symington family bought both Graham’s and Smith Woodhouse.

This is my favorite wine bottle. This bottle packaging is elegant. Embossed logo and the bottle’s shape make this wine packaging extraordinary. As a result, the brand look strong on the bottle.
I haven’t tasted this wine. I like to put it on my wine rack collection.

Pio Cesare Barolo Ornato 2001 by Pio Cesare – Alba – Italia.

The Pio Cesare winery was founded in 1881 by our great-grandfather Cesare Pio. He was one of the very first wine producers to believe in the great potential and quality of Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera and in the other great wines of Piemonte. Cesare Pio in the second portion of 1800s, was among the very first winemakers to produce these wines with a philosophy that was dedicated to the terroir and the strictest quality of the wine. For five generations, the Pio Cesare family has been producing traditional Piemontese wines in its ancient cellars, located in the centre of the town of Alba.

The circle logo in the label is interesting. It has a stopping power for customer to buy. I like the label design. I like to put it on my wine rack collection.

Mirafiore Moscatto d’Asti by Imbottigliato da Savas S.p.A. Italia

I could not find production year on the label. The logo and the brand name are standing out and have a stopping power. The transparent background logo is also interesting.
I haven’t tasted this wine yet. I like to put it on my wine rack collection.
