Q

What is a Doppler

A

A popular name for a two-litre wine bottle in which mostly simple wine (formerly table wine) or country wine was filled. It was used especially in rural restaurants and inns for open serving. However, this special Austrian bottle shape got a bad image in the course of time. Such a wine was pejoratively called Dopplerware and the bottle was rather derogatorily called Magnum of the little man or Austro-Magnum. The bottle shape was therefore replaced by one-litre bottles and the Bouteille (0.75 litres) by more and more Austrian winegrowers.
