Fill level & Label condition

Wines which are subject to margin tax are marked accordingly and we cannot display VAT (Net = Gross || Differenzbesteuerung)

We never use symbol pictures. The picture displayed is the picture of the particular bottle you are going to buy.

All bottles are available immediately and are stored in our temperature-controlled wine cellar.

Bordeaux bottles / fill level:

hf	high fill	fill level
in	into neck	perfect for wines of any age
ts	top-shoulder	normal for wines that are 15 years or older
hs	high-shoulder	Natural fading, usually completely harmless. Acceptable for wines older than 20 years. Exceptional for wines older than 50 years.
ms	mid-shoulder	Mostly a sign of an aging cork, therefore lower estimate. Calculable risk. Not uncommon for 30 to 40 year old wines.
lms	lower-mid-shoulder	Risk still acceptable. Lower estimate.
ls	low-shoulder	Risky purchase. Only acceptable for exceptionally rare or sought-after wines. Lowest estimate.
