Ullage (Level of Wine) Illustration and Interpretations
For Bordeaux, Port, and other shouldered bottles
n. ullage is into neck

bn. bottom neck
vts. very top shoulder
ts. top shoulder; usual level for Bordeaux older than 15 yrs
hs. high shoulder; usual cork reduction, often found in Bordeaux over 20 yrs, low risk
ms. mid shoulder; variation likely as indicates cork deterioration
lms. low mid shoulder; some risks, reflected in estimates
s. shoulder; risky, reflected in estimates

Ullage of wines of vintages fifteen years and younger may be assumed to be of bottom neck or better unless otherwise noted.
Similarly, regarding older vintages, lack of notation indicates acceptable and appropriate ullage, clear label and sound cork; potential
bidders must be prepared for reasonable variations in ullage in all vintages older than 15 years. Bidders with specific
condition questions should contact the Fine Wines department. Conditions generally not noted on group lots.
Bordeaux wines are catalogued referencing the 1855 classification. Chateau Petrus cataloguing reflects the practice of granting it 1er
Cru Classe and other notable Pomerol Chateaux are designated Cru Classe. All Bordeaux wines may assume to be chateau bottled
unless otherwise stated.
It is standard practice for Skinner/Lower Falls Wine to open all original wooden cases (owc) for visual inspection. The opening of
banded cases will be determined on an individual basis.
For Burgundy, German wines and all other more gradually slope-shouldered bottles, the ullage measurement is taken in centimeters
from cork base, e.g. 3cm, 5cm, 7cm.
Bottle Sizes
bottle (750 ml) jeroboam (4xbt); Burgundy, Champagne half bottle (hbt)
magnum (2xbt) jeroboam (6xbt); Bordeaux split (1/4 bottle) Champagne
marie jeanne (3xbt) imperiale (8xbt); Bordeaux
double magnum (4xbt) methuselah (8xbt); Burgundy
Buyers’ Caution: Levels are as when catalogued; ullage may change due to cork deterioration; other bottle conditions may occur
during storage and shipment. Risk of ullage variation and cork deterioration and/or failure is assumed by the buyer at time of sale
and no sale cancellations, price negotiations, or bottle substitutions will be undertaken by either Skinner or Lower Falls Wine.
Similarly, no substitutions will be made due to inaccurate descriptions.
Flights of Lots: Are of the same type, vintage and bottle count and follow one after another numerically, though ullage and bottle
conditions may vary. The auctioneer may exercise discretion to offer, in consecutive lot order and at that same price, the following
lots in the flight to the first successful bidder of that flight. Subsequently, those lots not purchased will be offered anew and so on.
Absentee bids placed on any lot in a flight will be applied to the next lot in the flight (if unsuccessful) until the flight concludes.
Environmental Note: It has only been in the last 15-20 years that the wine industry has moved away from using lead capsules to
cover the cork and neck of a bottle. When opening an older wine, if you do have a lead capsule, give consideration as to how you
dispose of it.
Collection of Wines
Your Wines
Lower Falls Wine Co. will endeavor to release or transport your wine to you as quickly as possible. The inherent nature of fine
wine – particularly aged bottles – requires that due care be taken in its storage and transport. We request your partnership in
making sure no harm arises during storage, collection or transportation. We may offer suggestions as to the best course of
action to safeguard your purchase. Fees charged are only to recover associated costs and are not intended to create a profit
center from the act of getting your wines to you.
Pick-up of Wines
Complimentary collection is available by prior arrangement only at:
Lower Falls Wine Co.

2366 Washington Street (Rt. 16)

prior to the release of any goods. Wines will only be released to those over 21 years of age. Proof of age will be required.
Issues with Regard to Transportation
All bidders should make themselves aware of the limitations and restrictions imposed by various states with regard to the
importation of alcoholic beverages which have been purchased at auction and transported into any states jurisdiction. All buyers
have the sole responsibility to research, understand and comply with all permit or license requirements before collection or
transport of purchases occurs. Neither Skinner Inc. nor Lower Falls Wine Co. is responsible for obtaining any permits or licenses
on behalf of any bidder. Lower Falls Wine will facilitate, where able, in the making of arrangements for the buyer on their behalf.
Bidders are strongly urged to understand the individual state statutes with regard to importation prior to participation in any
auction to insure compliance with said statutes.

Buyers arranging Massachusetts delivery outside of Route 495 should inquire as to the fees for delivery. Deliveries are made
Monday through Friday during normal business hours. Delivery will usually occur within one week of your request. All fees
associated with delivery must be paid in advance of delivery. We reserve the right to (re)package wines if deemed necessary for
a nominal fee. Wines will only be delivered to, and must be signed for by, someone over 21 years of age.
Splits
Any lot that is split for either pick-up or delivery will be subject to a nominal charge.
Storage
Complimentary storage of any purchases will not exceed forty five days past the auction date. All uncollected lots will be
charged $100 per month (or fraction thereof). Purchases in excess of ten lots will be subject to a fee of a minimum of $250 per
