The wine enthusiast understands the height of the liquid mirror by the filling standard in a wine bottle. The distance between corks and filling standard is minute at bottles filled newly, in the course of the storage it then comes to a partly insignificant decline by the evaporation due to the never one hundred per cent thick connection between nature corks and neck of a bottle, as a rule because alone the cork of highest quality is not elastic completely.

The probability of an evaporation is considerably lower at a professional storage as well as at a high-quality cork. Within the first 10 years no considerable liquid loss should appear.

Here the technical descriptions to the filling standard.

Filling levels at Bordeaux bottles:

• No visible liquid loss recognizes "High Fill" ("h.f.").

• Into Neck " " ("i.n.") or " base neck " ("b.n.") -- means that the wine mirror still has the same breadth as in the case of the filling.

• The mirror widens itself easily "High Shoulder" ("h.s.") or "top Shoulder" ("t.s."). These acceptably are though older than 20 year for wines.

• "Upper Shoulder" ("u.s.") or "High Mid Shoulder" ("h. (t.) m.s.") -- point between "high" and "mid shoulder". Normal for an over 30-year wine.

• "Mid Shoulder" ("m.s.")- Filling standard in the middle of the bottle shoulder passes over the perpendiculars it, there where slow in. Natural decline with over 40-year wines.

• "Low Shoulder" ("l.s.") -- the end of the shoulder. This filling standard is acceptable with rare and sought-after top-quality wines.

• "Below Shoulder" ("b.s.")- High risk for oxidation.

At other bottle forms like e.g. Burgundians, Riesling etc. the description is difficult with the shoulder form. The filling level is measured by the distance of the liquid standard to the bottom edge of the cork here. Moreover, has to be said that has the filling standard of a bottle unite especially at Burgundians considerably other statement value than for example over a bordeaux wine. So a filling level of 7 cm only indicates a proportionally low risk at an over 50-year red Burgundian. A filling standard less than 5 cm is excellent for such a wine.
