Their partnership ended in 1808 when William left to take over the old established firm of Quentin Kaye at 14 Ludgate Hill.

A rare unopened 1.5-litre bottle of wine allegedly made to celebrate Adolf Hitler's 55th birthday, 'Fuhrerwein Schwazer Tafelwein' 1944 together with 1 bottle 1940 Deutche (sic) Reichs Rotwein These two bottles look extremely authentic with glass, labels and seals that reflect that era. However there is much sceptical and controversial historic reference backing up the details. Recent reports state that the wine was commissioned by Hitler (who was 'famously teetotal) as gifts for his general staff. The label on the bottle carries an image of an eagle on top of a swastika and a stamp of the Reichszeugmeisterei, the central office that supplied Nazi equipment. The wine itself is 12 per cent ABV Schwarzer Tafelwein - 'black table wine' - thought to have been made in Germany but, despite a wax seal on the bottle, it is likely that it would now be undrinkable. “Adolf Hitler, it has been claimed, had commissioned the red wine to be made for his 55th birthday to give as presents to his general staff. He was so self-obsessed that he called the wine Fuhrerwein and insisted the label carried a picture of himself on it. Less than one year after it was made Hitler was dead and the war was all but over. The bottle is a rare 1.5-litre magnum. It is believed by some that the bottle is an important historical artifact - it is certainly not a bottle that you would come across very often, if at all.” Please Note: Wright Marshall is unable to confirm or guarantee the authenticity of this Lot.
