Notes
There is relatively frequent mention of Canary wine in Sir George Oxenden's private correspondence:
e.g. Cesar Chambrelan, writing to Sir George Oxenden from Carwar, mentions a dozen bottles of french wine and 2 dozen bottles of Canary which Chambrelan’s father asks Sir George Oxenden to accept from him[1]
e.g. "There is á Case of Canary for M:r Gray (if liveing w:ch God Grant) if not pray please to except of it in Custody of Cap:t ffisher m’ked in y:e wood GM:"[2]
e.g. "6 cases Canary Wine"[3]
e.g. "pray God in heaven conferme it by his power & goodness, That o:e Noble brave King & kingdome may flourish in a lasting peace & prosperity, the East India trade, & all be advanced to y:e height of yo:e Ambition shipps of Golde flow in daylie from Affrica, silver from America, silks from Italie, ?sackes from Canaries, Clarets from ffrance, suger from Portugall, etc from etc, & nothing from Holland"April 1667, Letter from Humphry Gyffard to Sir GO)]]
