Hand Wrapped Bottle History

So many times we have visitors ask us, "What's the deal with that white bottle?" The man who invented and patented the wrapped bottle, Dr. Charles Stiehl, in no longer with us. He was a doctor in Algoma for many years who also had an interest in cherries and wine. He combined the two in the 60's to produce the first commercially sold montmorency cherry wine. This original cherry wine was packaged in the beautiful white hand-wrapped bottle.

His idea for the "wine aging wrap" as Dr. Stiehl would call it, came from ancient winemaking techniques designed to protect wine from light and sudden changes in temperature. The formula for the covering was gauze and Plaster-of-Paris.

(On a side note, we've also discovered that it gives the bottle a little better chance of surviving a fall.)
