An early advert for imported Australian 'Emu Imperial' brand Burgundy red wine. Sold in 'easy-grip' flagons, the advert claims that doctors suggest drinking it will increase happiness and health. The illustration shows two woman drinking at a table. The wine imported to the UK in the 1940s was somewhat basic – a far cry from more recent times when Australia has become a world leader for quality products. Also these days a wine from Australia would not be allowed to be labelled as a 'Burgundy'. It appeared in a magazine published in the UK in 1948 – vintage 1940s graphics.
