Emigrant bank is owned by the Milsteins who were the buyers of Remoissenet (ans Pierre-Antoine Rovani is somehow involved). Coincidentally, Remoissenet has an extensive back catalog of swill.

I wouldn't be surprised if this got BIG.
Wow. But there's plenty there that isn't even slightly swill. It would unquestionably sell for more money if labelled DRC, Ponsot or Rousseau, though.
I was bemused a couple of years ago by the huge number of ancient Patriarche bottles for sale at Jakarta airport.
