Hi Dominiek,

Like you point out, I could/should have known that! However, to my own
defense I should remark that I have never been that interested in the
history / provenance  of different bottles...I am no collectable-collector,
but a drinking fellow, as you very well know! ;-)
But thanks for the enlightnement (?) anyway!  ;-)

See, example nr. 2! Konstantin!
