I was born in the country of the Bocksbeutel, a very special bottle for wine:
Within the European Union, the Bocksbeutel enjoys the status of a protected bottle shape.[1] The regulations describe the Bocksbeutel as a short-necked glass bottle, pot-bellied but flattened in shape, with the base and the cross-section of the bottle at the point of greatest convexity ellipsoidal in shape. The ratio between the long and short axes of the ellipsoidal cross-section is approximately 2:1, and the ratio of the height of the convex body to the cylindrical neck of the bottle is approximately 2.5:1.
The Bocksbeutel may be used for the following wines:
- German wines of QbA and Prädikatswein quality from:
- Franconia
- Certain parts of Baden, in the district known as Tauber Franconia (Tauberfranken) and around Baden-Baden
