Welcome to the Wine Label Circle

For more information, please contact the Circle at winelabelwebsite@gmail.com

Meetings are held twice a year, London in the Spring and in the Autumn the Annual General Meeting which alternates between the Provinces and London.
Zoom meetings are held from time to time on specific topics, we started these during the Covid lockdowns and found great benefits as they have enabled us to involve and engage more fully with a wider section of our membership, particularly those who live overseas.

Our Journal, published Annually in the Autumn is supplemented by a Newsletter on a more frequent basis.

A few examples are shown here, others can be found on other pages

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.

Membership is open to all. We will be delighted to answer questions and welcome new members, whatever your interests or knowledge.
