I was pleased to receive a case of wine from a friend as a Christmas gift. Whether he chose the wine because he was familiar with it or whether it was chosen because he knows I am a heraldry addict I have yet to ascertain however the label did immediately arouse my curiosity (and the wine itself is quite acceptable).
The arms shown on the label are
Azure, a chevron engrailed between three lions passant guardant Or 
The following extract is from
The Gentleman's Magazine - Volume 148 - Page 488 
I wonder whether the arms on the wine label have any link to the producer or whether they were simply chosen for their aesthetic appeal?
