DEUTZ & GELDERMANN’S

‘GOLD LACK.’

MORNING POST.

‘A Wine for Princes and Senators. The district of Ay has become probably the most celebrated in the ancient province of Champagne for its grapes, and among the noted brands of that famed region not one has gained a greater popularity in this country than that of Deutz & Geldermann. The Wine of this well-known firm is invariably met with on every important occasion; and it is noticed that Deutz & Geldermann’s “Gold Lack” was specially selected for the banquet given by the Royal Naval Club at Portsmouth to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales; and some proof of its excellence may be gathered from the fact that this brand was drunk on a former visit of the Prince to the club two years since. Deutz & Geldermann’s “Gold Lack” was one of the Champagnes supplied at the late Ministerial Whitebait Dinner at the Trafalgar.’

WORLD.

‘Deutz & Geldermann’s “Gold Lack” is now being preferred by many connoisseurs, and we can bear testimony to its excellence of quality.’

Deutz & Geldermann’s ‘Gold Lack’ Champagne is shipped Brut, Extra Dry, and Medium Dry; and may be obtained of all Wine Merchants.

MORNING POST.

‘The great feature of all entertainments, public banquets, &c., is Champagne; but the high prices of really good wine naturally deter many a householder of moderate means from indulging in this luxury. ROPER FRÈRES & Co. are shipping a first quality Champagne at 48s. per dozen. At this price, it cannot be denied that the acme of cheapness is arrived at.’

SPECIAL NOTICE.

All Wine Merchants can, if requested, supply ROPER FRÈRES & Co.’s CHAMPAGNE at the above Prices; and the Public are therefore cautioned not to allow other Brands at similar prices to be substituted.
