Although this could be a heraldic reference to the Worshipful Company of Distillers, this Company wasnot formed until 1638, the name was known to have been used three hundred years earlier.
In any case, as early as Roman times, hanging a grape vine outside of an establishment advertised the availability of wine inside.
