Photo 1L: "Americans of the post-World War II era were not wine drinkers. In the 1950’s, wine consumption was generally confined either to a few well-traveled people near each coast who associated wine with fine dining, both customarily French, or to members of ethnic communities who had long drunk both homemade and imported wines with foods common to their community.

Infrequent wine consumers often drank “Chianti” at inexpensive Italian-American restaurants where they consumed their spaghetti and lasagna with wine from familiar straw covered green bottles (fiaschi) placed on the red checked tablecloths. The same bottles, once emptied, served as candleholders and decorative touches in these neighborhood gathering places, and these same straw-covered bottles of Italian wine were often among the few wines available at liquor stores throughout the country." — National Museum of American History

Photo 1R: "Lancers is a brand of wine. A medium-sweet, lightly sparkling wine produced by the José Maria da Fonseca winery in Portugal. The brand was created in 1944, when Vintage Wines of New York predicted that wine consumption in the United States would increase after World War II.

It gained popularity in the mid-seventies as a slightly effervescent, easy to drink rose', along with Mateus, as a wine that would be appropriate with any meal, versus the 'red with meat, white with chicken and fish' conventional rule. Much of its popularity was due to the unique angular crock bottle rather than glass. Other wines of the time were also popular for the container as much as the wine inside, like chianti in wicker flasks." — Wikipedia
