International request, local delivery - you might be wondering what the heck that means. Well, to put it simply, the request came from France, to be delivered to local recipients.

I had two engraving requests, wine bottles with images and text engraved and hand delivered to the recipients’ address.

The requestor gave a choice of wine over the internet and I headed down to the shop to pick what’s available on the list.

The first bottle was an anniversary bottle, a heart shape design on the front, above the wine label and an Eiffel tower sketch at the back. The wine was a Domaine Cornu, Pernand Vergelesses Rouge from Burgundy, France, 2004 vintage

Front:

Back, with a message from the requestor to the recipient.

The second bottle was a belated birthday present. In the same style as the first, a heart shape design and birthday wish and date in the front while the back had a huge 50th Birthday cake picture and a short message.

The wine used was a Chateau Maris Minervois, from the Laungudoch region in France, 2004 vintage

Here’s the front

And the back with the big birthday cake.
