Original Wood Case (OWC) Wine

What does OWC mean?

OWC stands for Original Wood Case. In the world of fine wine, wines in original wooden cases promote impeccable provenance, ensuring the wine's authenticity and proper storage history. For collectors and investors, an OWC offers peace of mind and adds to a bottle's desirability, especially for rare and aged wines.

How many wines are in an Original Wooden Case?

When collectors ask us, "how many wines in a case?", they're often surprised to learn that Original Wood Cases (OWCs) typically hold 12 bottles, and can range to just one wooden-cased bottle. But it's more than just a number. An OWC signifies that these prized bottles have remained undisturbed in their original packaging since leaving the winery. This ensures impeccable provenance and optimal storage conditions, crucial factors for discerning collectors and those seeking investment-grade wines.

While original wood cases often hold six to twelve 750ml bottles, OWCs (Original Wood Cases) present a world of possibilities beyond the ordinary. You might find a case protecting a single, magnificent six-liter methuselah, multiple magnums perfect for a grand celebration, or even rare double-magnums. These larger formats enhance any collection, signifying exceptional vintages and making a bold statement.

How much does a case of wine cost?

The cost of a case of wine can vary significantly, from a couple hundred to many thousands of dollars. Factors like the wine's region, producer, vintage, and rarity all influence price, as does the format of the bottles within the case. A case might contain twelve standard 750ml bottles, or it could hold a single, impressive large-format bottle like a six-liter Methuselah.
