In Croatia, a man and a woman were arrested for committing the “theft of the century”: they bought 45 bottles of wine from a Michelin-starred restaurant in Spain, worth a total of 1.6 million Euros. Beverage Business.
A man and woman who stole rare wines from an Atrio restaurant in Spain were arrested nine months later. Spanish media called the robbery “theft of the century”: Among the 45 bottles stolen by the couple was a wine from 1806.
Spanish officials said the crime was planned down to the last detail: the couple visited the restaurant three times before robbing the wine cellar. First they had lunch at a restaurant, then the woman wanted to visit the cellar. When the restaurant’s kitchen closed, the woman distracted the waiter by ordering more food, the man went down to the cellar and brought three backpacks of collectible wine.
The couple stole a total of 38 bottles of Romanée-Conti and seven bottles of Château d’Yquem, one of which was dated 1806.
