Emil Migg Eberle, owner of the Gupf restaurant, holds about 25,000 bottles representing 2,100 different wines from around the world in his cellar, and his restaurant has been named by the American publication Wine Spectator as having one of the best wine cellars. He also stocks standard bottles of the Grand Cuvée TBA NV No. 7, a blend of Graševina and Chardonnay, that the Kracher family used to fill the world's largest bottle, meaning that anyone wishing to purchase The bottle, can still sample the wine at a reasonable price.
The Kracher family from Burgenland is renowned for their Prädikat wine made from grapes harvested after the standard harvest period. The grapes for this particular wine were picked in October, specifically as a selection of dried berries. This means the grapes were allowed to dry on the vine, and only the finest, or rather, the healthiest berries affected by noble rot were selected.
The world's largest bottle was blown at the German glassworks Lenz Laborglas in Wertheim am Main. It stands 240 centimeters tall and 68 centimeters wide, with glass one centimeter thick. When full, it weighs 630 kilograms and holds the equivalent of 640 standard wine bottles. It is sealed with a cork stopper measuring 18 centimeters in diameter.
