A Bocksbeutel is a bottle in approximate form of a flat pressed ellipsoid for wines from the cultivation area Franconia. Contents amount to normally 0.75 l (3 Schoppen 0.25 l).
The Bocksbeutel serves the stone for at least 250 years as container, first for the most outstanding and best wine, typical for the Franconia wine, later also for other Franconia wines. 1728 decided the town councillor that the best wines urban in Bocksbeutels should be filled.
Usually the Bocksbeutel for qualitatively high-quality wines is used. The Mindest Mostgewicht for Bocksbeutel wine lies with 70 degrees of over for quality wine.
The bottle form as such is however already much longer used. It is probably derived from canteens, which were flatly pressed for practical reasons: on the one hand because of easier transport in the luggage or at the body, on the other hand, because the bottle in uneven area cannot roll away any longer so easily. The form is used also in other wine regions, for example in Portugal, from ever ago.
The Bocksbeutel (down German for book bags) was a bag-like coat of prayer and generally used in the Middle Ages. Usually each councilman carried such a booklet with itself, if he went into the advice. After this had come from the mode, some however still to it recorded, designated one the old-paternal mode of thought and a persisting in an overcome point of view with Bocksbeutelei.
In the Bocksbeutel controversy so mentioned the European Court of Justice decided 1983 the fact that this bottle form against which desires of the Frankish winegrowers, does not enjoy trademark protection: As far as the wines after a louder practice and conventional exercise are filled up in such bottles in their mother country, the prohibition (the use of the Bocksbeutel bottle) is disproportionate (EuGH, R-S. 16/83, Slg. 1984, 1299 Rn.31ff.). This applies however almost exclusively to Frankish and Portuguese wines, why in German supermarkets usually only wines from these two cultivation regions in the Bocksbeutel are to be found.
