OWC 12 bottles: wines in complete original wooden cases

OWC 12 bottles brings together twelve bottles presented in their original wooden case. This complete packaging, particularly appreciated by enthusiasts and collectors, combines authenticity, coherence and refined presentation, especially for prestigious estates, sought-after vintages and wines intended for ageing.

With a total capacity of 9 litres, equivalent to 12 standard 75 cl bottles, the twelve-bottle OWC is the traditional format for preserving the same wine in its original packaging, following its evolution over time or enriching a cellar with a coherent set.

The reference presentation for fine wines

The twelve-bottle original wooden case holds an emblematic place in the world of age-worthy wines. It brings together a complete set from the same estate, the same vintage and the same cuvée, in packaging that preserves the identity of the wine and strengthens its appeal for both cellaring and collecting.

• Packaging — 12 bottles presented in their original wooden case.
• Total capacity — 9 litres, equivalent to 12 bottles of 75 cl.
• Appeal — Authenticity, presentation, collector coherence and the ability to follow a wine over time.
• Uses — Cellaring, collecting, great vintages, long-term tastings and patrimonial acquisitions.

An ideal case for following a wine over time

An OWC 12 bottles makes it possible to preserve several examples of the same wine and appreciate its evolution at different stages of maturity. It offers the opportunity to open bottles over the years while keeping the remainder of the case within its original set, making it a particularly relevant choice for wines intended to age.

This format is also sought after for the coherence it brings to a cellar: the same provenance, the same vintage and the same packaging united in a complete presentation, often associated with fine Bordeaux and collectible cuvées.

OWC, provenance and preservation

For an original wooden case, the condition of the bottles remains essential: fill levels, provenance, storage conditions, corks, capsules and labels should all be examined with care. The condition of the case itself may also be of interest, particularly for rare wines, sought-after estates or collectible vintages.

A complete twelve-bottle OWC does not alter the intrinsic quality of the wine, but it enhances the coherence, presentation and desirability of the whole. It remains one of the most appreciated forms of packaging for preserving, passing on or collecting fine wines with care.
