• Reviewing

• Article is new enough, long enough, and supported by appropriate inline citations.
• Hook is short enough, supported from appropriate source and eye-catching.
• QPQ done
• Could I suggest the following changes before approval:

• Include the fact that this was the first Port company established for 50 years. Indeed this could be the basis of a better hook than the suggested.
• Include the fact that, unusually, the market success has been in continental Europe rather than the UK
• Suggest 'Unable to use the family name he founded a new company named...'
• The role played by Graham's brothers Anthony and William in establishing the company should be included.
• Delete 'A number of vintages have been declared' and replace with 11 as later in article.
• Image captions - no 'required in barrels
• Image captions 2 Large casks of what?

• Thanks..will work on it and ping you back. Whispyhistory (talk) 21:07, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

• Hi @Iainmacintyre:...done all except no secondary source for "the market success has been in continental Europe rather than the UK". I prefer the hook as it is if possible... Quite like the idea that people assume it has something to do with Winston. Thanks for such detailed review. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:07, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

• Thanks @Whispyhistory:. My source for the market distribution was probably not an appropriate one. Yes, I agree the name Churchill is always eye catching even when it's not the most famous Churchill that people expect.
• Looks good to go. Papamac (talk) 14:39, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

• Please link this page in at least one other Wikipedia article so it won't get an orphan tag. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:36, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
