"The Wine Duty or The Triumph of Bacchus and Silenus with John Bulls Remonstrance" is a satirical print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1791. The artwork serves as a pointed critique of the British government's taxation policies on wine, using classical mythology to underscore its themes. In the print, Gillray depicts Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, and his companion Silenus, merrily leading a procession that symbolizes the imposition of the wine tax. John Bull, a national personification of England and the British government, is shown remonstrating against the tax, highlighting the public's displeasure and resistance.

Gillray's work is renowned for its intricate detail, sharp wit, and political commentary, and "The Wine Duty" is no exception. The print not only captures the socio-political climate of late 18th-century Britain but also serves as a historical document reflecting the public sentiment and governmental actions of the time. Through his masterful use of caricature, Gillray communicates complex political messages in an accessible and engaging manner, making his works enduring pieces of political and social commentary. This particular print remains a significant example of Gillray’s critique of economic policies and their impact on society, offering insights into the historical context of taxation and public response in Britain.
