The Ansbachus list

The Ansbacher List now has a new meaning

The Ansbacher List now has a new meaning. WineOnline, an interactive website opened for the Christmas market, is offering the "Ansbacher Case", a 12-bottle mixed case of fine wines at £275.

The description of the selection is as follows: "Names you will recognise. Have spent many years tax free (in bond) and have just been discovered. May need putting away for a few years but will benefit greatly from some time in the `cellar'. Should repay handsomely."
