Mark-
The WINOS is a rare and collectible Leica accessory; one that rarely shows
up on eBay, and even more rarely in other sales. It was made to look like a
telephoto lens case, but had a 750ml flask built into it. There was the
PINOT version which was covered in dark leather, and a CHARD version that
was in a light colored leather.
There was rumored to be a prototype for sale only in Germany, the LAGER,
that had a capacity of 2 litres, but I think the prototype never actually
got built.
