G'day Mr Red,

The Australian-invented "Wine Cask" has been around at least 47 years.

In 1967 I was working on a late one the Snowy River Hydro dams - but chucked in the secure job to go (~) broke in a contracting venture with an old friend ... down in Tasmania.

That was where and when I first saw this strange tin 'cask' of Penfolds (rough-ish ...) red ... and that was a widely selling hit of wine - just over 47 years back!

Regard(l)ess,

Bob
