There were six 750's that were hand-painted by Manfred and placed randomly in among the six-packs of this wine that were released. These were numbered one thru six.

Here are photos of hand-painted 750 #1:

Here are photos of another hand-painted bottle. I am pretty sure it is a 750, but I'm not sure which one. Must be #2, #3, or #6.

Magnums, Hand-Painted by Manfred Krankl

This one is #6 of 6:
