OOOPS!
OOOPS!
Wine
is not cheap and a good wine can cost a lot of
money these days. So spare a thought for Mr. Sokolin,
a New York wine merchant, who recently lost a bottle
of wine worth £305,000 (or about £50,000 a glass!). It
was a 1784 Chateau Margaux that had once belonged to
Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the USA. Mr. Sokolin
took the bottle to a wine tasting and putting on a table. The bottle was made of dark glass and
a waiter did not notice it. He hit it with a tray,
making a large hole in it. Most of the wine was lost, but
Mr. Sokolin was able to taste some of it. He
said it was "not very good", but the loss of
the bottle was described as ‘a terrible tragedy’.
