A customer at London’s Playboy Club dropped a bottle of Cognac Clos du Griffier 1788 – one of the most expensive bottles of anything – after he had previously asked to see the bottle. According to The Drinks Business, he was getting up out of his seat and knocked the bottle from it’s handler. The bottle was not insured, as it had previously been opened… by the Playboy Club earlier that evening because the customer had just had two glasses of the super expensive liquor for an astonishing £5000 each. What a silly bastard, eh?
The bottle was supposed to be featured in the world’s most expensive cocktail, which was to be mixed later this week in London in front of Guinness World Record judges. It had previously sold in 2009 for €25,000 as one of the highlights of the infamous La Tour Argent‘s wine sale.

Hahahaha….lick the cracks on the floor and enjoy it like licking butt cracks. They deserve such stupidity. 10 grand for a century old liquor and probably 3 meals for a day for 666 days at 15.00 a day. Two glasses of cognac versus two years to feed someone? My middle finger is up and waving.

Forget about the bottle, hope he didn’t hurt he´s poor hand when he knock it, maybe he needs a pedicure if he scratched some nails.

He'd just paid 10 grand for 2 glasses! If he could afford that, I doubt the extra £38,000 to make up the $77,000 would have broke the bank.

I never comment about these types of things, but this one is so blatantly bad that I just have to say something. This article is so poorly written! I'd swear I was reading a 5th grade report, and, as a teacher, I know what those are like. "…after he had previously… " I've never seen after and before used in the same sentence. "…knocked the bottle from it's handler," is another simple error I wouldn't expect to see in a professional publication. "It's" means "it is." He meant to say "its handler." "The author clearly has a fascination with the word "previously," as he used it 3 times in this brief article. The sentence structure of the entire piece is awful, but the author's clumsiness shows most in "The bottle was not insured, as it had previously been opened… by the Playboy Club earlier that evening because the customer had just had two glasses of the super expensive liquor for an astonishing… " Holy mackerel – talk about hitting the prepositional phrase jackpot! I understand the era of true journalism is over, but isn't somebody editing articles like this before they are posted? Is the author being paid for his work?

Lol, I find myself wondering if he had enough to pay for it.
