A scarce wholesale wine list from the Savoy Hotel, dated 1937. The catalogue opens with 'The following lists of French and German Wines are perhaps the most fully representative lists ever offered to the British public' and goes on to detail Clarets, Bordeaux, Burgundies, Champagnes, Hocks, Moselles, sparkling wines, Ports, Italian wines, Madeira, Sherries, Whiskies and liqueurs. It also offers the opportunity to purchase Harry Craddock's Martinis and Manhattans by the bottle. The lists are accompanied by notes on the regions, instructions for the butler, and suggested meal plans with accompanying wines. OCLC records only the 1931 edition of the wholesale list in the Hagley Library, Wilmington, DE.
