With wine purchase (lat. Laudemium ) was the 16th and early 19th century referred acres money or a Hofübernahmegebühr that when taking over a Kolonats of a serf and often also in the adoption of the Grange of the Meier at the landlord had to pay .

The term has nothing to do with wine, but comes from the Low German word Winkop . The first syllable contains the expression profit and in this case means right to use land . When translated into High German, Win was first mistakenly changed to Vienna and then to Wein .

The purchase of wine belonged to the irregular gradient and was due when a servant or Meier z. B. acquired rights to a court of the landlord through inheritance or marriage. Buying wine was also due when a new farm was founded or when a servant position was reassigned after the previous owner's death without heirs. The usually serf peasant recognized the property rights of the landlord with the payment, but thereby acquired certain property rights for his part, which the landlord recognized with the payment. For example, if a successor took over the right of use, his predecessor received compensation. Sometimes the purchase of wine for the colonate was due several times within a few years. The amount of wine purchased was based on the size of the property and the value of the inventory.

Since the new spouse moving to a farm was obliged to pay at the time of marriage, wine purchase registers, which are usually located in the registers of the landlord's income, are first-rate genealogical sources. In many cases, they extend well beyond church records.
