Alexei Semenov, who at that time headed the People's Commissariat of Finance, introduced paper labels from wine drinks into circulation.The most common were labels from "Cahors", "Port", "Madeira", "Sherry", "Oporto". Each of them had its face value - "Madera" replaced the ruble, "Cahors" was equated to the top ten. The authenticity of such bills was confirmed by the seal and the handwritten signature of Semenov. The "wine money" came out of circulation with the advent of Soviet power.
