[Paul S.]

yes but  -  think I will forego the tradition in favour of retaining the fizz    thanks for the Wikipedia link  -  so what have I got to do now  -  discard all my real books and use a virtual world instead      But seriously thanks for the help, although because I don't get out enough I was ignorant of the apparent fact that Champagne was available (in England) as early as 1663.   
A serious vote of thanks to Bernard for his wonderful contribution in 2006 (via the link) referring the =S= mark to John Stonier  -  which I was completely unaware of.    Without examples of both sorts of the mark in from of me, can't say exactly which one is showing on my glass  -  which believe I am now correct in saying is not for bubbly, but rather for Sherry  -  but think in fact mine maybe the thicker heavier S, so this is the 1920's - 1930's I suppose.     Wud agree with Bernard's feeling about the romantic aspect  - perhaps, once, my glass graced the table of the Normandie or Carpathia.     All I need now are the other five      thanks again to everone.     Paul S.
