Bonniot Cognac Fine Champagne: Funny Bottle Neck

A reader has a cognac bottle at home: A Bonniot Fine Champagne Napoleon Cognac.

The bottle is located in Rogers, Arkansas USA. The Reader writes “We have British friends living in the US who had the bottle in their wine collection. When the returned to Great Britain eleven years ago they left it with us. The bottle has letters stating “Liquor Bottle France.”
