This is the most recent entry in the drinker`s series of instruments.

For Herbert it was clear as white wine from the very beginning: if there’s an instrument to be built using a wine crate, it would be a Skringer - his very favourite winery.

He had spent so many beautiful hours on site, in lovely Southern Styria and at home, enjoying the Skringer family’s products.

In terms of construction, it is a rather easy fix. We laser burnt the logo on the crate, attached an ordinary guitar neck and inserted a pick-up - of course everything nicely harmonised.

Without a doubt, the art of wine-making and instrument building are very similar here: only with an exquisite selection of individual components and the proper combination of these, ultimately leads to a successful composition - what a coincidence!

We want to thank the Skringer family for the crates and the magnum Sauvignon Blancs we got in return for the instrument which now is to be found at the tasting room at the winery.

What pleases us most is this:

We have now received mail for the second time with pleasant news: This box is not just hanging on the cellar wall as an exhibit. No, it is actually played and appreciated by guests.

We want to raise a glass all the more to that. Cheers to the makers and players!
