'In vino veritas’ - In wine there is truth, as Pliny the Elder said, and the truth is you deserve good wine, just as you deserve good silver to use with it. From around 1663 when claret was introduced to Britain, we have made containers to serve it, with glass and silver examples being the fashion from around 1830, and we also created a number of accessories to enhance the drinking experience.
