The label is broad rectagular in form and is decorated with a crisp bright cut and prick dot border. The label is in excellent condition and is marked on the reverse with the maker's mark and sterling mark. The label is incised with the rare title of SACK. Sack is an antiquated wine term referring to white fortified wine imported from mainland Spain or the Canary Islands. Most sack was probably sweet, and matured in wooden barrels for a limited time.
