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 bottle price falls below its lowest price of the previous 30 days (at least −5% and −€2) — we never show shops' own strike-through prices.
