Sometimes the name of the grape from which the wine is made is included on the label, thus we have Niersteiner Riesling. Other terms to be found are:— Wachstum, Gewachs—both meaning growth. This is always followed by the name of the proprietor of the vineyard ; or:— Original-Abfiillung, Keller-Abzug, Schloss-Abzug—All meaning"Original Bottling" by the grower in his cellar. The equivalent of"Chateau Bottled ". Sometimes the Fuder No. (Cask No.) or Stuck No. is included on the label. Another wine produced in Germany is that called Steinwein, similar to the Rhine wines but bottled in the "Bocksbeutel,"a containersimilar to the Empire Burgundy flagon. This wine is produced from a variety of grapes on the River Main, between the towns of Schweinfurt and Hamburg.
