Hitler wine

London, Feb. 18: A rare bottle of Nazi wine with a portrait of Adolf Hitler on the label has been sold at auction for £3,995, reports The Sunday Telegraph. The bottle was from a collection understood to have been given to Hitler’s officers during World War II.

The Führerwein dates back to 1943 and has a picture of the dictator on the label dressed in a suit. Because it is so old it is undrinkable. The lot was expected to fetch only £500-800 when it went under the hammer in Plymouth. The auction ended with the final bid at £3,400 but the total is higher after the buyers’ premium is added. The bid came from an unnamed collector.
