Retired wine merchant Bob Vinnicombe and his wife Pam toast 60
years of marriage today with family and friends.
The Paignton couple are part of a vintage wine family that
started trading in Bath Road, Torquay in 1857.
And Bob has sourced a tipple or two for the open house today at
Tudor Court, Paignton.
Three of the couple's four children have taken up the family
tradition and entered the wine trade with son Peter continuing the
business, for the fourth generation.
Bob, 83, worked for 52 years in the wine business running the
Wine Box in Teignmouth Road before retiring in 1991.
