That's a bunch of wine lost.Million dollar drop as wine tumbles
Herald-SunIT was certainly an expensive drop - more than $1 million worth of shiraz wine has gone down the drain after it was dropped by a malfunctioning forklift.
The 462 cases of 2010 Mollydooker Velvet Glove shiraz - at $185 a bottle - fell more than 6m to the ground as it was being loaded for export from Adelaide to the US.

"We just couldn't believe it," Mr Marquis said.
