Wine related tokens

[redwine]

OK, I've decided to collect wine and Wales related tokens too!  A token featuring both would be super!!
Any offers?

I don't know how you would use a token in the wine trade, except for empty bottles, maybe. There are plenty of Welsh tokens around, though, starting with the druid, a nasty person who liked blood offerings and making magical walls with heads or skulls...

They still do in Pontypridd

Ah, the home of the legendary front row

So far, looking around I've found wine merchants, good for a glass of wine and some plain Vin ones - all very interesting

As for Wales, I all ready have a druid.  Now, where's my golden sickel? 
And I've spotted some nice farthings................

Right! I restricted my thinking to wine production. I have a company restaurant token good for a glass of wine somewhere...

But that becomes a "mer à boire"! What we usually call beer tokens could just as well be used for wine. The amount of beer tokens is unimaginably large.

I'm mixing up my Max Boyce.
The true legends are of course Pontypool.   
My rellies will be reeling................

Good for a glass of wine.
I'd prefer Good for a glass of fine wine.
But, yes please

I believe there are a few wine merchants in the Australian 19th century series of tradesman tokens; this one springs to mind. [although not in very nice condition]

I like it, thanks for sharing Malcolm

Some producers of vodka in Russia, to increase the demand (which has recently begun to fall), put silver tokens in their bottles. The largest number of these tokens comes from "Standard" vodka.

Here's the online catalog

Also there were several beer tokens. But no wine.

(By the way, the official name of vodka in Russia in XIX century was "table wine #21".)

You can have the one above if you would like it. I think I have a South Africa too, E. K. Green and Company wine merchant Cape Town; must check!

Found this expensive Welsh Wine token here...  [blank reverse]

Other than good for a glass of wine, I have seen a few from actual wine makers. I draw a distinction between wine sellers/distributers/merchants and wine makers.  I find the later more interesting although I do not have any duplicates and darn few in my collection at all.
