The biggest drunken robbery in Italian history! 30,000 bottles of top-quality red wine were stolen overnight, resulting in a loss of 170 million

The legendary Italian winery "Marchesi Antinori" (Marchesi Antinori) recently reported a major theft. About 30,000 bottles of precious wine were stolen from the winery in Tuscany overnight, with an estimated loss of up to 5 million euros (approximately NT$170 million). Antinori said this was the largest wine theft on record in Italy. The Associated Press reported that a group of at least seven thieves sneaked into the Antinori winery factory near Cortona, Arezzo province, late last Saturday (3rd). After disabling the anti-theft alarm and monitor, they drove into two large trucks and skillfully operated the forklifts in the winery. They loaded the entire batch of priceless top-notch wines into the vehicles and escaped. The factory only discovered the theft during an inventory on Monday, but in order to cooperate with the police investigation, the official announcement was postponed until Friday (9th). Maison Antinori pointed out that the stolen wines were all highly acclaimed "2023 vintage" wines, with a single bottle worth between 150 and 500 euros (approximately NT$5,300 to NT$17,800), including about 10,000 bottles of the top wine "Solaia", as well as the well-known "Tignanello" and "Guado al Tasso". CEO Renzo Cotarella said, "This is undoubtedly a very well-prepared criminal gang." This may be the same group that has targeted other Italian wineries in recent months. "A theft of this scale and value has never happened in Italy." The Antinori Saga was founded in 1385 and has been passed down to the 26th generation. It is one of the most representative winemaking families in Italy. The industry has issued warnings to customers and distribution channels around the world, calling on buyers to beware of low-price sales through unofficial channels of unknown origin. ☆Excessive drinking is harmful to health.
