The bottle may have been better than the contents …
Either I have made it up or there was a catchy song about Leo Buring’s Sparkling Rinegolde, a sweet effervescent (fizzy?) white wine beloved of elderly aunties all over Australia in the 1970s. Rumour has it that Leo’s brother Rudi designed the bottle. It is a beautiful, heavy club of a thing, with very thick green walls. Maybe the walls were thick because the contents were under pressure. It is a great bottle; well done, Rudi.
