The Bottle Shop in one video

Stefan Glück of The Bottle Shop on a cask half he picked without knowing we had picked the other one: the same Long Pond VRW 2005, two labels, two separate rating pools. Plus how a bottling comes out of 50 to 60 samples, and why it all ends up printed on the back label. Spoken in German, with English subtitles.

Real market price drops instead of discount labels: RumX monitors 40+ shops around the clock. A drop only counts when the price falls below the previously lowest market price (at least −5%) — we never show shops' own strike-through prices.

The The Bottle Shop lineup compared

Which bottling is the better one is decided neither by price nor by the age on the label. Here they stand side by side, sorted by the community's median rating. The number of ratings sits next to it: a high score from few voices says less than a middling one from many.
