What does 'non OWC' mean?
When buying wine; in particular expensive wines, you may come across the following abbreviations used either to describe the packaging or the condition of the labels:
OWC = Original Wooden Case
SHC = Second Hand Carton
CR = Carton Repack
BS = Bin Soiled (dirty or stained labels)
This provides additional information on the wine and is an indication of provenance - whether it has been carefully stored and cared for or not.
