Need help About this wine - I'm a newbie at wine

My brother gave me this bottle of wine from his cellar and I wanted to know more about it and it's current value range.

Where would I find this type of info?  Is there a master wine cost book somewhere or a website I can go to to get this info? Any help would be appreciated.

The bottle is mostly written in German or Hungarian.

I think he ment for you to drink it, not sell it.

Hi Michael, I wasn't too sure whether that would be a sweet wine - interpreting Ausbruch as an expression of ripeness, equal to Auslese, and so possibly fermented to dryness... Wouldn't the common Bordeaux grapes reach sugar levels equal to Ausbruch, by the way? Anders

Thank you Michael - I should have been aware that Ausbruch was that high up in must readings! See now by Google that it is at least 27 KMW = about 139 Oechsle = about 31.7 Brix. Maybe not too impressive in California or Morocco but certainly a quite high level in more northern areas! Anders

Are saying that these wines reach 20% alcohol, or that they have residual sugar when the fermentation stops. Pardon my rudimentary knowledge of winemaking, but my understanding is that fermentation stops when most still wines reach 15 - 16 % alcohol.

No. Fresh grape juice may be added to the shrivelled botrxtis berries to better "break out" (that's what "Ausbruch" literally means) the very sweet juice. In practice, this is almost never done - it's just a additional category between Beerenauslese and TBA.
