[edit] Talk 1

Wow, this is an amazing article, written by a true connoisseur. Too bad it's doomed to revision into blandness. David G Brault 03:01, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not seeing what the problem is. The tone has style but it is not un-encyclopedic. Editors and administrators should keep in mind that encyclopedias have traditionally utilized professional and experts to perform writing duties when necessary. To this end, Britannica, Americana, Africana, etcetera, have permitted a certain degree of latitude when it comes to prose style.

The information in this article is extremely well-presented and free of grammatical errors. If anything, this article might be worthy of featured status. If nothing else, it is several degrees better than many articles I have read of similar importance that are horribly written and beyond editing. Jackbox1971 23:31, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm also not sure what is in dispute here in terms of style. I agree with Jackbox1971's assessment above. Some guidance from Wiki admins, perhaps? 65.96.168.182 21:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

after removing effusive or POV comments - I may have overdone it but I don't think so. The article could now do with a more pleasing rearrangement of pictures, not all of the same width down the right hand side, especially in the "Inside painted" bottles section--User:Brenont 01:33, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
