No bottle would have been resold
According to Journal of Saône-et-Loire, which revealed the affair, the employee was allegedly filmed by a surveillance camera stealing four bottles. After a complaint from his employer, he was arrested and his house was searched. The investigators then discovered several cellars and thousands of bottles, among which the employee’s boss found his own, as well as those of other wine houses where the accused worked.
The latter would have accumulated his loot over around fifteen years, also lining the walls of another cellar at his mother’s house. The prices of bottles, sometimes great wines like the prestigious Vosne-Romanée, can exceed 1000 euros (more than 950 francs), according to the local daily. However, “no element indicates in the procedure that he resold a single bottle,” indicates the prosecutor.
