Forklift destroys $1 million wine shipment. : Othor Games

» Fri Jul 22, 2011 11:01 pm

The 2010 Mollydooker Velvet Glove shiraz sells for A$185 a bottle ($199; ￡122), the AFP news agency said.

Winemaker Sparky Marquis told reporters he was "gut-wrenched" that 462 cases of wine had been smashed while being loaded for export to the United States.

"When they opened up the container they said it was like a murder scene," he said. "But it smelled phenomenal."

Perhaps I'm being overly pedantic, but it sounds like the poor old fork-lift is unfairly getting the blame here...

Mollydooker... :drool:

@vometia
that's because the driver had to go into protective custody after the incident..

If I may interject... Sparky Marquis???. That has got to be one of the funniest rhyming names I've ever heard.

I would make some joke about alcohol, homeless people, and star wars, but that would be rather shallow of me. Have to say though I would be so PO'd as the owner and I would be taking a sledge hammer to that forklift for breaking my crap.

Yeah, all this laughing is causing me champagne(some pain).

Ok that one was a bit of a stretch.

It must take a lot of bottle to make jokes about a subject like this.
