Wine Labels, also known as decanter labels or bottle tickets, adorn decanters to identify their contents - wines, spirits, sauces, toilet waters or medicines. Bin labels and mounted corks are other areas of interest, but not paper bottle labels

Silver wine labels, labels in silver plate, colourful enamels and mother-of-pearl are the main materials. Both antique silver wine labels and contemporary designs are studied.

Meetings take place in the Spring and the Autumn to view and discuss silver decanter labels and labels in other materials.

Publications include a twice yearly Journal, published in the Spring and Autumn and three Books, all available from the Circle at attractive prices.

Membership is open to all. We will be delighted to answer questions and welcome new members, whatever your interests or knowledge. Contact us at winelabels@hotmail.co.uk
