Christmas Present for the WW2 Enthuisiast

[fallschirmjaeger]

Here is a great Xmas idea for the WW2 enthusiast and inexpensive to make - bottle of 1941 French Wine ultimately imported by the Leeds Corportaion USA. I've made it look as if its been 'turned' many times as well as generally manhandled through its lifespan, as well of course 70 years of ageing!







Originally a 2009 Cote Du Rhone - £4.79 from Waitrose. The prints are available on the web and the ageing is just tea and coffe and some wire wool. The ageing on the bottles is with a dremmel and metal grinding tool - be careful if trying this at home kids, I broke the first bottle....

The wax is just red sealing wax for letters from Ebay! The top numbered label is made in Word or Powerpoint!

I made sure I got a bottle with a cork but you can use the wax over a screw top - I tried and its fine!

Why did you need to age it 70 years? Were they not new in 1941?

Good idea though but perhaps without the ageing or do one with an earlier date lol

I would never try and drink an original though......... the Gestapo injected many bottles with poison through the cork, that later fell into Allied hands....just a thought

Cheers, Bill.

That's a very nice job you did with that bottle.

Just a nice gift for Christmas when you want to surprise others

Fooled me at the first view!

No No and No. That looks like a bottle that a nursery child has played with.
It looks like a red candle has been left to drip on the neck.
The labels are....Oh Dearie me...
