Thieves Empty Tuscan Winery of 30,000 Bottles
Seven masked thieves loaded two trucks using the winery's own forklifts, worth about €5 million.
Thieves who stole 30,000 bottles of Tuscan wine didn't bring their own equipment. They used the winery's forklifts.
At least seven of them disabled the alarms and cameras at Marchesi Antinori's site near Cortona, loaded two large trucks and drove off into the night. The haul, including Tignanello and Solaia, is worth about €5 million ($5.8M). The company says it's the biggest wine theft Italy has ever seen.
No arrests have been reported yet. Would you think twice about a cheap bottle of Tignanello now?
