Posted By: Bill H Mon, Oct 28, 2019 This says Tianjin, Hong Kong Yongliwei Wine Shop (Tian jin Xiang Gang Yong Li Wei Jiu Dian - 天津香港永利威酒店). Others may know whether this is antique. There's still a Yongliwei shop with apparent wine bottles visible in their online photo on Google. The name means "Always Beneficial and Powerful". |

Posted By: Bill H Tue, Oct 29, 2019 I nodded off on the last character of those on the wine bottle. Should have called it "Zhuang" (庄) instead of "Dian". The meaning is essentially the same, as "Zhuang" would be a "Store" in this context. |
