New York. 2004. Page 275. ill. 443: "Founded by a group of local winegrowers in 1838 as the "Société des Propriétaires de Vignobles de Cognac", Cognac Monnet didn't get its current name until 1897, when Jean-Gabriel Monnet became the company's owner. Here, the slogan "sunshine in a glass" is interpreted literally by Cappiello as a Bacchus-like nymph expresses her adoration for the drink."
