Heavenly Moselle droplets
Heavenly Moselle droplet was a registered trademark of the Franz Wilhelm Langguth Erben GmbH & Co. KG winery . It is a table wine that was developed as a mixture of different white grape varieties and became the "fashion wine" of the economic miracle in Germany.
On November 16, 1953, the word and figurative mark “Heavenly Moselle droplets” was registered with the German Patent Office (DPA) for the first time. The wine was awarded the “International Gold Medal Brussels 1956” and the “Medaille d'argent Ljubljana 1958”. The taste was uniform and consistently sweet, tangy. There is usually no year on the bottles, except for special occasions such as the 25th anniversary.

In the course of time, various variations of the logo have been placed under protection. Thus, the labels on the wine bottles were also protected against imitation. The trademark protection finally ended on May 31, 2012.
As successor products, the winery carries several types of wine and wine cocktail under the name “Heavenly Droplet”, some of which are characterized by a relatively low alcohol content of 4% or more.
