Chateau Yquem c. 1850
This week I made an exceptional addition to my collection with this beautiful example of a c. 1850s French wine bottle with seal "CHATEAU YQUEM Haut Sauternes". Chateau d'Yquem is considered one of the most famous white wines in the world today. The interesting thing is that this bottle pre-dates the change in name from Chateau Yquem to Chateau d'Yquem. If you have information on the history of this Chateau and details on when the " d' "was added to the name please let me know. I would like to hear from you.

Hi David, you have some really nice antique bottles here, you might be interested in checking out the Collector's Weekly page dedicated to collecting vintage and antique bottles. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/category/bottles/index.php
There's wine bottles as well as various other categories, enjoy!
The fact remains that wine bottles do need to be stored at the correct temperature and angle for the wine to remain drinkable. Wine Storage
