Now historical
noun
An ancient duty levied upon imported wine, in later times correlated to and often identified with butlerage.
  • Abolished 1809 by 49 Geo. III. c. 98 §35. For the nature of the duty, its changes, and its relation to butlerage, see Hubert Hall Hist. Customs (1885) II. 90 et seq. ‘The “Butlerage” was…the commutation of the prizage into a petty custom, and was paid only by foreigners who consequently paid no prizage. Prizage was the ancient toll in kind retained for choice by natives, who therefore paid no butlerage, as it was afterwards called’ (H. Hall in Antiquary (1882) VI. 230/2)..

Origin

Early 16th century. From Anglo-Norman prisage prisage, due from prise +-age. Compare post-classical Latin prisagium prisage, custom on wine.
