Looking for Tokay 1646 picture - 7/3/2003 8:49:58 PM    Guest (I' m not sure where to post this ...) I' m looking for a picture of the oldest bottle of wine ever auctioned - a 1646 Imperial Tokay - which is mentioned in the Guinness book of records. The oldest bottle in Hungary is a Tokay bottle from 1683 (see picture). Also, I' d like to know if anyone happens to know anything about the fate of the 5.500 Tokay bottles (some of vintage 1606) that were confiscated by the Germans from the famous Fukier cellar in Warsaw on Octobre 6, 1939. Thanks, Frank Attachment (1) < Message edited by turorudi -- 7/3/2003 8:51:47 PM >   Post #: 1

Good luck! (in reply to Guest) Post #: 2

RE: Looking for Tokay 1646 picture - 7/4/2003 7:15:23 PM    Guest Thanks for this idea. I have alredy met Tim Atkin at the Tokaj Wine Festival in May. Unfortunately, he does not know details ... I include the only picture of the cellar that I know of. Frank Attachment (1) (in reply to AndyR)   Post #: 3
