Still Waters Posted May 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Lucky diners were accidentally served a £4,500 bottle of red wine at a restaurant. Hawksmoor Manchester said on Twitter it hoped the customers had enjoyed their evening after being given the pricey 2001 bottle of Chateau le Pin Pomerol. The diners ordered a £260 Bordeaux but received the bottle "of the same vintage" which was 17 times the price. A "mortified" staff member who made the error has been urged to keep their "chin up" as "one-off mistakes happen". It was only afterwards that the restaurant's manager realised the mistake, a spokesman said. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-48292972 £4,500 = 5758.36 USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chump change to the rich, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
