Have found an old bottle of wine with the following information on the bottle. MCOUQUIN around the sealed cork. Figure of a lady holding up a glass of wine on the front. A lable that says Faite Comme A Bordeau running across the front, Would like information on this if anyone can help. Age, worth etc.

never heard of it.
Can you type out all of the other things on the label please.
Faite comme a Bordeaux = Made like in Bordeaux (Great sign lol)

You've spelled it two different ways - MCOUGUIN and MCOUQUIN. I can't find a reference to either. The "faite comme a Bordeau" you cited means "Made like a Bordeaux" in French. Is this maybe something from Australia made in the Bordeaux style? A little more info, please.

Checked the label, the only labels on the bottle are around the top seal it says"Produit Mouquin" sorry for the misspelling. The very top of the seal has the lady holding up a glass on it.
The name of Mouquin is on the back side of the bottle.The lady holding up a glass is on the front. The bottle itself has small raised lines from the top to the bottom. No other markings are on the bottle.

Sounds like an opener to me. Pop the cork and see if it be wine or vinegar. WW
