Italian label question

Loading thread data ...

That is a very plain bottle compared to some of the ornate ones you sometimes saw in the US in the bad old days. I have a bottle from that era that is in the shape of a bunch of grapes, standing on a cone shaped base to make it stand upright. It is labeled Orvieto wine from Bardi Ubaldo. It is labeled net contents 1 pint( a size for the US market, I guess, before, it started using metric measures for wine). Alcohol 12% by volume. I have never opened it, and likely never will, because of the very poor quality of most Orvieto in the US many years ago. It has been good for many laughs when I show it to people and ask them if they would like for me to open it for them.

Then I have a 1 gallon bottle of Chianti with the traditional straw covered base. However the neck of the bottle is about 3 feet high. Many years ago I was told that some people converted these long necked bottles into floor lamps.
