This was amusing - some businessmen who'd ordered a £260 bottle of claret were accidentally served a £4,500 one - https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/hawk ... 44031.html
But I don't for one second believe that "the customer didn't know and it was only afterwards that one of the managers picked up what had happened."
Just a thought, but who exactly decided that a bottle of wine on the premises was worth £4,500 ? How? What criteria did they use? Who would be stupid enough to order it?
So I guess they would have had insurance?
Maybe they want to stifle any comments to avoid discussion whether it was actually worth £260, let alone £4,500.
After all, merely claiming to have a bottle worth that much is great publicity.
Seems that a quick-thinker on the premises has damage-limitation in mind..... as well as gaining amazing publicity for their restaurant.
Steve PS I have a bottle of white in our chiller which I will sell for 1 million. See? So easy!
