Designation (also Lägel, Logel, Lögel) for an old measure for wine, which corresponded approximately to a bucket. It was common with different volumes in Hesse (50 l), Rheingau (45 l) and Switzerland (45 l). In Styria (Austria) Lägel was also a unit of weight for steel (70 kg). In Austria, Legel is also the name given to the butte (reading container). See also under hollow measures and wine vessels.
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
