Designation (also Spitzengewächs or Kreszenz) for a wine of excellent quality in the context of a wine address and wine rating (at least 16 out of 20 or 90 out of 100 points). However, this has no legal significance in wine law. Instead, there are many terms with a similar meaning, such as first wine or grand vin, garage wine, main wine, cult wine and premium wine. See also 1811s, auctions, garage wine, vintage, wine of the century, comet wine, favourite wines (of famous personalities) and most expensive wines in the world.
