Assuming it was the genuine article. Wine fraud being a growth industry.
Pétrus agents Corney & Barrow keep extensive records of such wine.
They also ensure empty Pétrus bottles are destroyed, etc., etc.

That’s a brilliant story. I’ve found large receipts in my pocket before after a big night out in London, but never for Petrus

There’s a very entertaining documentary on this very subject - Sour Grapes. Well worth a watch for oenophiles and their friends and family.

”I have a dream”....
That one day the Wine thread I created overtakes the Brexit thread post count.. (Even if we digress to Pepsi chat on the odd occasion)..

Is one putting these bottles away themselves or do you have company?

Share the claret with the missus and will probably get through half the port leaving the rest for tomorrow or Friday.

Quite. A good watch. Vividly recall the Duboeuf scandal braking as it was a hot topic of conversation in Lyon.
The disdain was palpable with the consensus being "they got greedy". Despite their protestations of innocence.
Never touched a drop of their Pouilly-Fuissé again. Or Puśśy Foosy as my old lady used to say
Feck!
although just had a lovely sirloin at Gauchos and a bottle of thier Malbec

Been outside all day filling a gabion outdoor fireplace/BBQ with basalt stone. What a sh1t job!
Its so wet and muddy that I can‘t use a small telehandler or digger there - so have been filling by hand in buckets. 2 1/2 tonnes today in just one cage.. only 6 more tonnes to go and I can then start on the opposite end of the house with an outdoor kitchen also made out of gabion cages.
Pulled these btls out earlier as I knew a drink would be needed. Missus cooking duck so a nice Monterrey Pinot to start followed by a btl of Remelluri, a Rioja Reserva that punches well above it’s weight and from the stunning 2007 vintage.

Can I ask where the bbq and gabion came from....
I’d been toying with a similar idea for my back garden.
As a note, the 1st time I ever saw gabions was in 94, in Bosnia, they were wrapped round iso containers to protect us when the Serbs were shelling the Muslims but every now and then “ had a drop short” on our camp.....
