Saxon cone
The Sachsenkeule wine bottle is a special shape . This shape was developed to improve the attractiveness of the Elbe Valley wines in 1931 in the Hoflößnitz state winery as a green bottle in the shape of a club. With the return to local pride in Saxon wines, this form was taken up again for labeling in the 1990s. But it did not find universal acceptance for Sachsenwein. The shape in the box has a poorer edition than the normal shape. As a unique selling point for Saxony, the same quality classification as the Bocksbeutel for Franconian wines was intended.
