Our customers give us some of the best ideas for our products.  This came from one of them who bought a blank liquor decanter tag and had us do some special engraving.  Thank you Emily.  Here is a copy of her recent comments from our testimonial system.   My office ordered a custom-engraved decanter label for my boss as part of a retirement gift. Given that he had been with our organization for almost 50 years, and as a Federal agency we could only rely on personal donations to cover our costs, we needed a decanter label that would be beautiful, elegant, and not too expensive. Silver Mine delivered a stunning personalized product on a very short deadline, and provided excellent customer service over the phone to assuage our worries that the gift might not arrive on time. Thanks for helping make our farewell such a success, Silver Mine!

Decanter tags also known as bottle tickets or liquor labels have been in use for 100’s of years. Wines were probably some of the first liquids to be placed in decanters. Since older white and red wines develop sediments as they age, you need to decanter them and filter out the sediment to make the wine more palatable. Once the wine was placed in the decanter, tags were needed to identify the bottle contents.

Early English traditions of the men retiring to drink spirits after dinner enhanced the need for Decanter tags as this was generally a very formal affair and crystal decanters with ornate bottle tags added to the elegance of the occasion. During this period of time other spirits like Port, Bourbon and Whiskey were put into decanters which increased the need to use decanter tags for identification.
