Burnay Port
From Graces Guide
The largest ever import of wine was brought about by the great fall in the rate of exchange between Portugal and England in 1892. This enabled Messrs Burnay and Co to offer their wine at a lower price to the English merchants than what they themselves had paid! The profits were used to reinvest in silver to boost the Portuguese economy. The wines were carefully selected by Southard and Co from the very best available in Oporto, such as Sandeman, Croft, Taylor Fladgate, Ferreira and Miguel Guedes, [1]
