Prototype information
As early as 1826 vintner and cooper Johann Wilhelm Meuschel from Buchbrunn was making his way to north with the horse carriage full of wine barrels from Franconia. It made more sense and was more profitable to sell the wine outside of the wine growing region rather than within Franconia. The idea was successful, the business flourished, and it soon spread to the regions of Thuringia and Saxony. In 1845, the son of the same name founded the firm Wilh. Meuschel jr. In 1878, they moved to Kitzingen. At that time the firm was spread out over 40 different wine cellars in the old part of Kitzingen. The name Meuschel became famous beyond the borders of Franconia with his product and quality - so famous that in 1890 the firm was named the court supplier to the Duke of Saxony and in 1903 to the Royal Bavarian court. This wine business has been located in the current buildings since 1906. Many details worth seeing are witnesses to the history of those times and tell stories about the past. The wine growing profession has been in the family for over 400 years going back before the wine growing estate Wilh. Meuschel jr. – a tradition of commitment. Source: http://weingut-meuschel.de
