Question
I found a Obear Nester 4/5 pine wine bottle,on the bottom it has a N in square, wine and II with a cap that was stamped 100 percent wine.  Need to know who distilled the wine.

Answer
HI Starlene

Obear Nester was a glass company, and they made bottles for lots of companies, including wineries, pharmaceuticals, food, etc.  Without the label on the bottle, I can't tell you who made the wine.  (Wine is fermented, not distilled, by the way.) I am a wine expert, but not a bottle expert!

But if you want more information about the bottle itself, you might try contacting antiquebottles.com.  They have a great site, lots of information, and some good people who can sometimes answer your questions!

Hope that helps.
