Authentic old vintage wines – carefully selected

Welcome to the specialist in original, authentic old vintage wines. We offer no replicas,
no “outdated” bottles of dubious origin, but real wines from the year of birth, anniversary year
or wedding anniversary that is special to you or your loved one. Every bottle in our collection is a piece of history –
preserved with care, with an eye for origin and quality.

Why Not Every Old Wine Is a Bargain – or Drinkable

You come across them on the internet: bottles of 30, 40 or even 50 years old, offered for a few tens of euros.
Sometimes it is said that they are still “perfect to drink”. That sounds tempting, but the reality is more nuanced –
and that is exactly why experts choose specialists.

The truth is: Most wines are not meant to be stored for decades.
After about 15 to 20 years, many wines reach their peak and begin to slowly decline in quality.
Only wines for storage – top wines from renowned wine regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy,
Barolo or Rioja – have the potential to age with dignity for 30, 40 or even 50 years.
Even then there is no guarantee that they are still really drinkable; factors such as storage, cork condition
and year play a major role.

The price of a vintage wine is determined by a few crucial factors:

✔️ Condition of the bottle: The overall condition of
the bottle plays a big role in the
valuation. A well maintained
bottle contributes to the experience of the wine.

✔️ Harvest year: The specific year of the
grape harvest has significant influence on
the taste and value of the wine.
Some vintages are cherished
for their exceptional quality.

✔️ Origin: The origin of the wine is from
great importance. Wines from renowned
wine regions often have higher
market value.

✔️ Scarcity: The rarity of the
wine, which increases with time, is one
determining factor in price formation. A
vintage wine is often appreciated for
its uniqueness and limited
availability.

It is important to know that wines cannot be drunk forever. After about 20 years, the quality of the wine gradually begins to decline. Unfortunately, it cannot be guaranteed whether an old wine is still drinkable. This depends on various factors and circumstances.
Opening a box with a bottle of wine from, for example, a birth year, wedding year or anniversary year, evokes a feeling of emotion in everyone. It is a special event that brings back memories and creates new memories.
