Remy Martin VSOP Vintage bottle 1 French Fine Champagne Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 5297-5588

Behind the faded label and heavy glass stopper, this bottle carries a piece of another era. It's a Rémy Martin V.S.O.P., bottled long before the house's current packaging came to define its shelf presence – a small window into the story of Cognac's most famous export.
Expert Description
Rémy Martin V.S.O.P. is a French Cognac bottled in the 1980s on French oak casks at 40%. The bottle belongs to the Fine Champagne Cognac category, meaning it's distilled exclusively from grapes grown in Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne – the two finest crus in the Cognac region.
The label carries the German text "Französisches Erzeugnis," suggesting this particular bottle was originally destined for the German export market. Its dark, oval neck label and gold lettering are typical of Rémy Martin's packaging before the house modernized its look.
The cognac is a blend of eaux-de-vie, composed by the cellar master from Limousin oak casks of varying ages. Unlike whisky, cognac doesn't continue developing once bottled, so the character inside is essentially unchanged since the day it was filled.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Vanilla, ripe apricot and a touch of baked apple, with a little more patina than a newer bottling.
Palate
Rounded and layered, with stone fruit, a hint of liquorice and warm oak spice.
Finish
Soft and long, with toasted nuts and a last trace of vanilla.
Specifications
Name: Rémy Martin V.S.O.P.
Distillery: Rémy Martin
Region/Country: France, Cognac (Fine Champagne)
Type: Cognac
ABV: 40%
Size: 70 CL
Cask Type: French Limousin oak casks
Distillation Method: Double distilled in traditional copper pot stills

Flavour Profile
Fruity · Vanilla-sweet · Oak-aged · Smooth
Investment Potential
Medium. This is a discontinued bottling with an older label design that's sought after by collectors, and since cognac doesn't evolve further in the bottle, the contents remain stable regardless of age. Value depends heavily on fill level and label condition, though.
Did You Know?
The German text on the label is a small clue to this bottle's journey – many Rémy Martin bottles from this era were filled specifically for export markets like Germany, with local language requirements printed directly onto the French label.

Berentzen Appel Sonnenreife Vintage Bottle 11 Appleliqueur 100 cl 25%

Item no.: 2265481-789896

Some bottles just sit there gathering dust. Others carry an entire family's history stuck right onto the label. This is the second kind - green label, gold trim, and a red wax seal still holding onto the cork after all these years.
Expert's Description
Berentzen Appel Sonnenreife is a German Apfelkorn Fruit Liqueur from the Berentzen distillery in Haselünne, bottled at 25%.
Berentzen has been distilling grain spirit since 1758, and it's the same family business that invented the entire Apfelkorn category back in 1976 - a liqueur made from pure wheat grain spirit blended with the juice of sun-ripened apples. This particular bottle still carries the older name "Appel" and comes in at 25%, noticeably stronger than the 18-20% you'll find in today's Apfelkorn. Everything about it - the bottle shape, the wax seal, the label style - points to a batch from the 1970s, back when the recipe was punchier and the branding looked nothing like it does now.
The back label tells its own small story too: it references castle walls dating to the year 1385 in Haselünne, where Berentzen's products are said to age and mature - a detail the distillery still likes to put front and centre on its older bottlings.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Ripe apples with a touch of wheat grain, sweet and a little rustic at the same time.
Palate
Full apple flavour, syrupy sweetness, and that grain backbone tying it all together.
Finish
Soft and gently warming, with the apple lingering longest.
Specifications
Name: Berentzen Appel Sonnenreife

Region/Country: Haselünne, Germany

Serving Suggestion: Best enjoyed ice-cold as a shot, or over ice with a splash of sparkling water
Flavour Profile

Did You Know?
The name "Apfelkorn" didn't even exist when this bottle was filled - Berentzen simply called it "Appel," and the product carried that name for years before "Apfelkorn" became the official term everyone knows today.

Boaka Vodka 75 cl 45% Vintage Bottle #1

Item no.: 2265481-30-Vintage17

A bottle from the days when the Soviet Union sent vodka westwards under names that have since been forgotten again. The glass is heavier than anything made today, the label printed in a different kind of colour, and the contents have sat untouched for roughly half a century.
Please note: Scratches and marks may be present on the bottle, see the photograph. The bottle is sold as a collector's item and the quality of the contents cannot be guaranteed.
Expert description
Boaka Vintage Vodka is a Russian Vodka bottled in the 1970s at 45%.
Boaka belongs to that crowd of vodka brands built up around export from the Soviet Union and later vanished so thoroughly that almost no written trace remains. The brand is no longer produced, and these days the bottles turn up at auction more readily than production records turn up in any archive.
The 45% is worth noticing. Classic Russian vodka lands at 40%, and the higher strengths were typically reserved for bottlings destined abroad, where duty rules and market expectations both worked differently. The result is a more compact vodka than the version the brand sold at home.
Vodka does not develop in the bottle the way whisky develops in a cask. With no wood there is nothing to draw colour or tannin from, so what you are holding is essentially the spirit that went in some five decades ago. What can change is the closure, which may have let a little air in over the years, so the fill level may have dropped slightly.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dry and grainy with the faint muskiness that old glass and old paper give off. The strength announces itself more plainly than you are used to from a modern bottling.
Palate
Powerful and more angular than today's vodkas. The grain stands out dry, and the extra degrees lay down a warmth that settles in the middle of the tongue.
Finish
Long and warm with a dry, mineral trail. There is no sweetness to rest on at the end.
Specifications
Name: Boaka Vintage Vodka
Producer: Boaka
Region/Country: Russia
Type: Russian Vodka
ABV: 45%
Size: 75 CL
Bottled: 1970s
Flavour profile
Dry · Powerful · Grainy · Vintage character
Investment potential
Medium. Soviet bottlings from the 1970s grow scarcer with every year that passes, and Boaka is no longer produced, so no new bottles will ever join the pool. The age is genuine, and the combination of 75 CL at 45% is not a bottling you come across today. Condition pulls the other way: scratches and marks on the glass count heavily with collectors, and no original box comes with it. That is why the assessment lands at Medium rather than higher.
Did you know?
All Soviet spirits export ran through a single state body, Soyuzplodoimport, established in 1966. That is part of the reason bottles from the period so often carry Latin lettering and text aimed at foreign buyers, even though production took place behind the Iron Curtain.

Byrrh Wine Aperitif 70 cl

Item no.: 22336255-84669

There's something about a bottle that has travelled through decades without being opened – a weight of history, Roussillon sunshine and a whisper of cinchona bark that still recalls old pharmacy shelves and café tables. Byrrh Vin-Aperitif carries that legacy into every glass.
Expert's Description
Byrrh Vin-Aperitif is a French aromatised wine aperitif from Thuir in Roussillon, made from red wine, mistelle and cinchona bark, with an alcohol strength of 17%. The aperitif was created in 1866 by brothers Simon and Pallade Violet, two cloth merchants from Thuir who spotted an opportunity in the era's wine boom and developed a tonic spiced with cinchona bark, initially sold as a health remedy through pharmacies to sidestep the strict competition rules governing aperitifs at the time. The trademark was registered in 1873, and the name Byrrh is said to derive from a code on a fabric sample card. Between the world wars, Byrrh became one of France's best-selling aperitifs, and by 1935 it accounted for more than half of the French aperitif market. Since 1977, Pernod Ricard has produced Byrrh in the historic cellars in Thuir, part of which were designed by the engineer Gustave Eiffel.
The base is dry red wine from Roussillon, primarily made from Carignan and Grenache grapes, blended with mistelle and infused with crushed cinchona bark and spices such as cinnamon, bitter orange peel, gentian, chamomile and cocoa, before the blend is matured in large oak casks for several years.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Port-like on the nose, with dark dried fruit, caramel and a light bitter herbal tone.
Palate
The palate is full-bodied and rich with coffee, cocoa and a distinct bitterness from the cinchona bark.
Finish
The finish is long and dry, with lingering bitterness and warm spice.
Specifications
Distillery: Caves Byrrh
Region: Thuir, Roussillon, France
Type: Aromatised Wine Aperitif
ABV: 17%
Size: 70 CL
Serving suggestion: Enjoy chilled over ice with a slice of lemon, or as the base of classic cocktails such as the Trocadero.
Flavour Profile

Did You Know?
Byrrh appeared as an advertising sign in several classic films, including Alfred Hitchcock's Rich and Strange from 1931 and Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan from 1998.

Cinzano Vermouth Vintagebottle Francesco Cinzano & C Italien 1 litre

Item no.: 22231473-97888

A black bottle with faded red and blue on the label. This is what a bottle of vermouth looked like long before Cinzano became a global cocktail-bar standard – back when the name was still tied to a small confectionery shop in Turin, not a factory.
Expert's Description
This Cinzano Vermouth is a vintage collector's bottle from Francesco Cinzano & C. in Turin, Italy, bottled in a one-litre format.
The Cinzano name dates back to 1757, when brothers Giovanni Giacomo and Carlo Stefano Cinzano ran a small confectionery shop in Turin and experimented with distilling, infusing and sweetening wines with alpine herbs. The recipe quickly earned recognition, and by 1786 the Piedmontese court had named the brothers its preferred supplier of Vermouth Rosso. Over time, the business grew from a confectionery shop into an internationally recognised wine house under the name Francesco Cinzano & C., a name this bottle's label still bears witness to, from a period before the brand became part of a global group.
Tasting Notes
This bottle is a vintage collector's item and is regarded primarily as a piece of history rather than a bottle meant for drinking today. As the condition of its contents after decades cannot be verified, we're not providing specific tasting notes for this particular bottle.
Specifications
Distillery: Francesco Cinzano & C.
Region: Turin, Italy
Type: Vermouth
Size: 1 litre
Edition: Vintage collector's bottle, label style points to the 1950s
Investment Potential
As a genuine vintage collector's bottle with no printed vintage year, and a label carrying its own patina, this Cinzano bottle is drawing growing interest from collectors of vintage spirits and bar memorabilia. The bottle dates from an early period in the history of Francesco Cinzano & C., before the brand became part of a global group, making it a rare piece of vermouth history. Its investment potential is assessed as medium, as the bottle could rise further in value as a collector's item, though concrete auction data for this specific example doesn't exist.
Flavour Profile
Vintage, Rare, Historic, Collector's Item
Did You Know?
The Cinzano name comes from two brothers who originally ran a confectionery shop in Turin in 1757 – long before the company became synonymous with vermouth and, later, global cocktail culture.

Courvoisier Luxe Cognac Old Version 1 Fine Champagne French Cognac 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22276-1972803

There's something about an old bottle that no new one can fake. This one has travelled from Jarnac to Hamburg and on into a Danish collection, and the label still carries the fading and creases of decades spent being held up to the light.
Expert description
Courvoisier Luxe Cognac is a French Cognac from Jarnac in the heart of the Cognac region, bottled at 40%. This "Luxe" 3 Star bottling dates from an era when Courvoisier still marketed itself under the royal warrant "By Appointment to the Late King George VI" – a reference to the British court that the house was permitted to carry in its branding for decades. The bottle was imported into Germany by Charles Hosie in Hamburg, a detail that tells its own story about the Cognac's journey from the French cellars out into Europe. Courvoisier is one of the so-called big four Cognac houses and has, since its founding in 1809, cultivated a soft and approachable style that sets it apart from some of the more angular, powerful houses in the region. The Cognac is blended from several crus around Jarnac and matured in French oak casks in the house's own cellars, which gives it the rounded, elegant profile the house is known for.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Ripe apples and plums meet a touch of dry oak spice, a combination often found in older Cognac-based bottlings.
Palate
Round and soft, with stone fruit sweetness balanced by a light, spiced oak warmth.
Finish
Mild and elegant, without sharp edges – a finish that matches the house's well-known, approachable style.

Did You Know?
Courvoisier is the only one of the big four Cognac houses ever officially permitted to use the imperial "N" in its marketing – a legacy of the brand's supposed connection to Napoleon Bonaparte, who is said to have taken the Cognac with him into exile.

Fundador Old Version Pedro Domecq Spanish Brandy 70 cl 38.5%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19728043192

In Jerez de la Frontera, where the Andalusian sun beats down on whitewashed bodega walls, the Domecq family has aged brandy by the same principle for close to three centuries. Fundador Old Version carries that legacy forward, cask by cask, vintage by vintage.
Expert's Description
Fundador Old Version Pedro Domecq is a Spanish Brandy matured through the solera method in ex-sherry casks of American oak, bottled at 38.5%.
The house of Pedro Domecq traces its roots back to 1730, when the Irish merchant Patrick Murphy founded a bodega in Jerez de la Frontera. Roughly a century later, the French wine trader Pedro Domecq Lembeye took over the business and gave it his name, and in 1874 the house created Fundador, the first Spanish brandy ever marketed under the name Brandy de Jerez.
The brandy matures in the same bodegas that hold Jerez's famous sherry, moving through a solera system of stacked casks where young brandy gradually absorbs character from older vintages before it is finally drawn from the bottom row. It is a slow process that gives Fundador Old Version its rounded, dark character.
The Old Version bottling is a nod to the house's classic style, the way it tasted long before Fundador conquered the international market. It shows the brandy without ornament, just craft, time and the damp bodega walls that mark the wood, year after year.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dried figs and walnut meet a sherry sweetness from the casks, backed by caramel and a faint oxidative, nutty edge.
Palate
A wave of raisin and caramelised sugar, with a touch of dark chocolate, spiced oak and orange peel.
Finish
Long and warm, with notes of dried fruit before a last trace of sherry oak slowly fades.

Graf Keglevich Vodka Vintage Bottle 8 Germany 100 cl 40%

Item no.: 2265481-77744

Behind the faded, silver-grey label sits a bottle that spent decades on a shelf long before anyone thought to call it vintage.
Expert's Description
Graf Keglevich Vodka is a German-licensed Vodka bottled at 40% ABV by Distilleria Stock Import GmbH in Unterföhring near Munich under the Graf Keglevich name.
Keglevich is originally an Italian Vodka, created by the Stock company, founded in Trieste in 1884 by Lionello Stock. The recipe is credited to the Hungarian Count Stephan Keglevich, and the name "Graf" (German for count) refers directly to him. This bottle is a licensed edition produced specifically for the German market, marked "Deutsches Erzeugnis" on the label, setting it apart from the original Italian editions of the same Vodka.
The label's print style, the double-headed eagle with a "K" crest and the worn silver finish match other Stock/Keglevich bottles from the same era, typically dated to the 1960s-1970s. This edition has long been discontinued, and neither the label nor the bottle shape appears in Keglevich's current range, which today mainly consists of fruit-flavoured Vodkas.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Pure grain alcohol with no added flavouring - typical of a classic wheat-based Vodka from the period, with a hint of sweetness and a light, neutral scent.
Palate
Round and soft at first, shifting quickly to a dry, clean alcohol character. No spice, no sweet extracts - just Vodka as it was made before fruit-flavoured variants took over.
Finish
Short and clean, with no bitterness. Given the bottle's age, it's recommended purely as a collector's piece, not for consumption.

The double-headed eagle on the label isn't just decoration - it comes from the Keglevich family's coat of arms and ties the bottle back to old Austria-Hungary, where the Keglevich family held noble status long before Stock turned the name into a Vodka.

Martini & Rossi China Martini Bitter 32%

Item no.: 221473-80558

There's something about a yellowed label with faded red and green scrollwork that tells you more than any tasting note ever could. This bottle sat on a shelf long before anyone thought of "bottling date" as a marketing word.

Expert's Description

China Martini Bitter is an Italian herbal bitter from Martini & Rossi made from genuine cinchona bark and bottled at 32%. The recipe dates back to 1887 and remains one of the house's most closely guarded secrets — the exact proportions of herbs, flowers and cinchona bark are known to only a handful of people at the distillery. This particular bottle wasn't bottled in Turin, but under licence by Martini & Rossi Aktiengesellschaft in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, as shown clearly by the "Deutsches Erzeugnis" mark at the bottom of the label. A German licensed bottling like this tells its own story about how Martini & Rossi, in the decades after the war, chose to produce closer to German consumers rather than export everything from Italy. Cinchona bark is the natural source of quinine, and the liqueur has historically been used both as a digestif and, in more folk-medicinal circles, against fever and digestive troubles. On the back of the bottle, the original serving suggestions are still printed in German: neat, with ice and soda water, or with hot water and a twist of lemon peel.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Dry and herbal with a hint of bitter orange peel, gentian, and a faint medicinal note from the cinchona bark.

Palate

Bittersweet with notes of caramelised sugar, dried herbs, and a sharp citrus edge.

Finish

Long and bitter with a dry, herbal close reminiscent of an old apothecary cabinet.

Martini & Rossi China Martini Old version 4 Bitter Liqueur 75 cl 31%

Item no.: 2218973-58963

In Pessione just outside Turin, cinchona bark and spices have been simmered together since the 1800s, and the result is a bottle that still smells like an old-world apothecary and Italian aperitivo culture at once.

Expert Description

China Martini Aromatica is an Italian Aromatic Bitter Liqueur from Martini & Rossi, bottled at 31%.

The name is a little misleading, because "China" doesn't refer to the country but to cinchona bark, historically the source of quinine and a key weapon against malaria. The recipe traces back to Martini & Rossi's early years in Turin, where production was centralised in Pessione in 1864, still the company's home today. After the Second World War the bottling was renamed from Elixir di China to the name it carries now: China Martini.

The bottle featured here is an older release, with a label design, cap and tax seal typical of Italian spirits bottling from that earlier era — the kind of bottling vintage Amari and Italian aperitif collectors actively hunt for today.

Tasting Notes

Nose

The nose opens herbal and faintly medicinal, with the characteristic bitterness of cinchona bark and a whisper of dried orange peel and spice underneath.

Palate

The palate is bittersweet and layered, with orange and citrus meeting a deep herbal bitterness — a balance of sweetness and edge typical of a classic Italian digestif.

Finish

The finish is long and dry, with the bitterness of the cinchona bark the last thing to linger.

Martini & Rossi Elixir Di China Aromatico Liqueur 100 CL Italy 1 litre

Item no.: 22231473-97899

A dusty warehouse in Pessione outside Turin, barrels of cinchona bark ageing in the dark, and a recipe that has outlived two world wars and a kingdom. That's where this bottle's story starts.

Expert's Description

Elixir Di China Aromatico by Martini & Rossi is an Italian aromatic bitter liqueur based on cinchona bark, bottled at 31%.

The recipe dates back to 1863, when Martini & Rossi began producing and selling this bitter liqueur under the name "Elixir di China" – made with genuine Corteccia di China Calissaia, the bark of the cinchona tree, historically valued for its quinine content and used against malaria. After the Second World War, the company renamed the product China Martini, the name it still carries today.

The label on this particular bottle is an older type than the China Martini bottles typically found at wine merchants and auction houses today. It references "Antichi provveditori di S.M. il Re d'Italia" – meaning royal warrant holder to the Italian King – but that kind of prestige text was kept on Italian labels for years after the monarchy ended in 1946, so it can't be used to date the bottle reliably. The government excise stamp around the cap can, however. Its wording, "Imposta Fabbricazione Spiriti" and "Contrassegno di Stato," the volume expressed in litres, and the Italian Republic's star emblem all belong to a stamp type used exclusively between 1953 and 1959. This bottle was therefore filled sometime in that decade, most likely in its second half.

The bottle holds 100 CL, a full litre – a size rarely seen today, when 70 CL is the standard. That matches the stamp's own stated format, "da litri 1."

Tasting Notes

Nose

Bitter cinchona bark, dry herbal spice, and a touch of orange peel, in the style of a classic Italian amaro.

Palate

Strongly bitter and herbaceous, with deeper notes of rhubarb and gentian beneath the characteristic China bitterness.

Finish

Long and dry, with a lingering bitterness that fades into dried herbs.

Investment Potential

Medium. Older Martini & Rossi Elixir bottles regularly change hands on international auction houses like Catawiki, and demand for well-preserved, sealed examples of this earlier "royal warrant" label style outpaces demand for the more common 1950s-70s editions that circulate most often in the market.

Did You Know?

The small excise stamp around the cap is actually more reliable for dating this bottle than the label itself. The text "Antichi provveditori di S.M. il Re d'Italia" refers to the Italian King, but that kind of royal prestige wording was kept on labels for years after Italy became a republic in 1946. The stamp's own design – with the Republic's star emblem and its volume stated in litres – was only used from 1953 to 1959, and that's what actually gives the bottle away.

Martini Bianco Vermouth Old Version 4 Liqueur Italy 70 cl

Item no.: 2223473-91499

Some bottles carry more history than what's printed on the label. This Martini Bianco has sat through decades on shelves and in cabinets, still wearing its old emblem of the winged victory, the flags, and the forty medals across its chest.
Expert Description
This Martini Bianco Vintage Vermouth is an Italian vermouth from Martini & Rossi in Turin, made from white wine flavoured with herbs, spices, and beet sugar.
The label is of an older design featuring the "Premiati con 40 Medaglie" emblem and a German-language back label reading "Italienischer Wermutwein," pointing to a bottle intended for the German or Central European market. Martini Bianco was originally launched in 1910 under the name "Bianchissimo," inspired by the white flowers of the vanilla plant, and remains a lighter, milder style than the red Martini Rosso.
The bottle has never been opened, and its contents show the golden-green colour typical of aged vermouth. Because vermouth is wine-based, its taste and aroma shift over decades even unopened, so today the bottle's main value lies in the label, the history, and its rarity rather than in the liquid itself.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The original Martini Bianco is known for a perfumed nose of citrus, peach, and raspberry with a touch of tobacco and fresh bay leaf. At this age, expect a more oxidised, muted character.
Palate
The base recipe offers a sweet, honeyed character with lemon, ginger, and cinnamon. On a bottle this old, the exact taste can't be predicted without opening it.
Finish
Original Martini Bianco closes on sweet stewed apple and cinnamon. This bottle's actual finish is unknown and shouldn't be expected to match a new bottle.

Martini Extra Dry Vermouth Old Version 5 Liqueur Italy 100 cl

Item no.: 2223573-78966

Bottles like this one sat on bar shelves long before anyone thought to call a cocktail a "signature drink." This green glass bottle, with its worn, old-world label, belongs to an era when Vermouth Sec from Turin was itself the mark of European sophistication.

Expert's Description

Martini Extra Dry Vermouth 1 Liter is a dry, herb-infused vermouth from the Italian house Martini & Rossi, bottled in an older label design no longer found on current shelves. This particular bottle was filled for the German market by Martini & Rossi AG in Bad Kreuznach, as shown on the back label alongside serving instructions printed in German and English.

Martini Extra Dry has always been the driest of the house's classic styles, and it has served as the backbone of the Dry Martini cocktail for well over a century. The recipe starts from a white wine base infused with an extract of barks, roots and herbs, holding bitterness in check in favour of a clean, almost delicate character.

The label design on this bottle predates what's sold in shops today, and it's exactly this kind of discontinued packaging variant that collectors keep an eye out for. Pinning down precisely when this bottling was made requires checking the base of the bottle or under the cap for a date or batch code.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Delicate and perfumed, with raspberry, a touch of honeydew melon and a citrus edge of lemon peel, tied together by a light floral note of acacia.

Palate

Apple skin and a hint of orris root lead the way, with rootier notes surfacing mid-palate without ever tipping into dryness — the bitterness is present, but it never smothers the fruit.

Finish

Light and spiced, with cinnamon and white peach that fade quietly rather than lingering.

Specifications
Name: Martini Extra Dry Vermouth 1 Liter
Distillery: Martini & Rossi
Type: Vermouth (Extra Dry)
Size: 100 CL
EAN no.: 4037800113216
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy ice-cold as a straight aperitif, on the rocks, or as the dry component in a classic Dry Martini cocktail.
Investment Potential

Low to medium. The liquid itself carries no collector value, but the discontinued label design and the older German bottling make this bottle of interest to anyone collecting vintage bar memorabilia and Martini & Rossi's history.

Did You Know?

The name of the Martini cocktail most likely doesn't come from the gin brand of the same name at all, but from this very vermouth — recipes for a gin-and-vermouth drink featuring Martini already existed in 1888, long before anyone called the drink itself a "Martini."

Martini Extra Dry Vermouth Old Version 7 Liqueur Italy 100 cl

Item no.: 2113513-71117

There's something about an old Martini bottle that makes time stand still for a moment. This one has sat somewhere for decades, its label slightly faded, with an old price tag that gives away it once passed through a German border shop that still priced in Deutsche Mark.
Expert's description
Martini Extra Dry is an Italian-style vermouth, in this case bottled in France by Martini & Rossi AG, headquartered in Bad Kreuznach, built on a white wine base infused with herbs, citrus extracts and the brand's signature Florentine orris root.
The recipe first launched on New Year's Day 1900, after ten years of development by Luigi Rossi's sons, and quickly became the backbone of the cocktail that would come to define the 20th century: the Dry Martini. The orris roots are grown for three years before being sun-dried and aged further, giving the vermouth its violet-tinged, faintly bitter undertone.
This particular bottle isn't part of today's range. It's an older bottling, likely from the 1980s or 90s, sourced through a German border shop rather than an ordinary wine merchant. Vermouth is an aromatized, fortified wine, and like any wine it changes character over decades – so this bottle is best thought of as a piece of packaging history and a collector's curiosity rather than a drinking recommendation.
Martini & Rossi itself dates back to 1863, when the company was founded in Turin under the name Martini, Sola & Cia. Today it's one of the world's most widely distributed vermouth brands, its striped racing-flag logo later made just as famous on the Formula 1 track.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Sharp citrus and a touch of raspberry sit up front, backed by a soft, herbal scent of dried orris root and a faint trace of wood.
Palate
Dry without tipping into bitterness, with a hint of lemon and subtle botanicals unfolding over a white wine base.
Finish
Short and fresh, with a lightly bitter, aromatic close where orris and herbs take the lead.

Martini Rosso Vino Vermouth Old Version 3 Italy 70 cl

Item no.: 2223473-91458

Some bottles just sit on a shelf. Others have lived an entire life before ever being opened. This one belongs to the second kind — a faded old bottle of Martini Rosso, its label gone soft and golden with decades in the dark, still carrying the coat of arms from an era when Martini & Rossi signed itself under a different name.

Expert's description

Martini Rosso Vermouth is an Italian vermouth from Martini & Rossi in Turin, made from a secret blend of botanicals added to white wine with caramel for its signature red colour.

This particular bottle carries the classic ornate label reading "Premiati con 40 Medaglie" and the company name "Martini e Rossi Successori Martini, Sola e C." — a label design that dates back to the late 1800s but was reused unchanged for decades afterwards. The back tells a different story: printed in German, with serving suggestions and an illustrated glass under the heading "Martini on the rocks!" — a style typically associated with the 1950s, when Martini exported heavily into German-speaking markets. The combination of the older front and the more modern back makes this bottle a small snapshot of transition in Martini & Rossi's packaging history.

The bottle holds 70 cl and shows neither size nor alcohol percentage printed visibly on the label, which is typical of several older Martini bottlings from the same period.

Tasting notes

Nose

Classic Martini Rosso is built on wormwood, quinine bark and bitter botanicals, typically showing dried orange peel, caramel and a light bitter herbal edge. On a bottle this old, the aroma will likely be muted and more oxidised than a fresh one.

Taste

The recipe behind Rosso is known for combining wormwood, quassia, savory and thyme, carried by sweetness from caramel and dried fruit. In a bottle from this era, the flavour has almost certainly evolved considerably over the decades.

Finish

Traditionally a bittersweet finish with herbs and a touch of wood. On an old, unopened bottle, the finish is a matter of theory rather than experience, since the contents should not be consumed.

Investment potential

Medium. Older, unopened Martini bottles with a well-preserved label carry steady collector interest, especially when the front label is as clearly legible as this one. Value depends far more on label condition and fill level than on rarity itself, since Martini & Rossi produced vermouth in large volumes throughout this period.

Did you know?

The small winged female figure with the trumpet at the top of the label is an allegory of Fame — taken from a gold medal Martini won in Paris in 1878 — and she's stood in that same pose on the label for more than a century.
