explanation of the condition

Using a snapshot from June 4, 2025 we have recorded the condition of this wine bottle 1938 Chateau Lafite Rothschild for you.

We would like to point out that despite correct, constant and protected storage, the condition of the wine bottle can change over time. As with humans, the aging process can never be completely stopped. If your bottle red wine Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1938 is on its way to you, shocks or weather conditions can affect its condition. But don't worry, we will pack your wine order carefully and safely.

What you should consider when delivering wine

Consider storage location
The plan is for you to receive your bottle of wine - Château Lafite Rothschild 1938 - in person. This ensures that the red wine is not unnecessarily exposed to the weather. If you have wine delivered to a parcel station, pay attention to cold or hot day and night temperatures. This is because a parcel station is usually not air-conditioned. Spending too long in such a parcel compartment can affect the wine bottle. If the wine delivery was left on your doorstep, a longer stay in hot, cold or wet conditions can also disadvantage the wine bottle.
Avoid condensation
Especially in the winter months (below 10° Celsius), your wine delivery is exposed to cold temperatures during transport. We therefore recommend that you place your package with 1938 Chateau Lafite Rothschild unopened in a room with a room temperature of approximately 15 - 18° Celsius for approximately 24 hours after delivery. This allows the wine bottle to acclimatize gently. If you were to place the cold wine bottle in a warm room, condensation would form on the glass body. This happens because the warm, humid room temperature hits the cold surface of your new bottle red wine . The result would be water droplets and moisture affecting the wine label. A wavy, partially slightly detached label could occur.
