Front Text: Happy Birthday 1940 Vintage. Aged to perfection

Inside Text: From the Vine... With age, red wines tend to lose color, eventually ending up a sort of brick red; white wines, conversely, gain color, becoming golden and eventually browny-yellow. If you tilt your glass over a white background and look at the edge, or rim, of the curve of wine, you can get an idea of how mature it is: On a mature red wine, the rim will be fading. On a very young red the color will be dark and intense right to the very edge.
