Oh no...he broke the bottle!

Post by Divia » Wed July 25th, 2012, 3:18 pm

At London’s prestigious Playboy Club, a clumsy businessman caused a historic cognac (worth an estimated $77,000) to accidentally smash on the floor. The unnamed man had ordered two glasses of the 1788 Clos de Griffier Vieux, which were priced at $7,830 a glass, before asking to see the bottle. After reviewing the bottle, he got up and accidentally knocked it off the table.


:eek:


Could you imagine. That's terribly awkward.
