While there is little information concerning the identity of the wine in question, 1.5kg of Cocaine was found inside the bottles which were seized at Auckland's International Mail Centre last month.
"You wouldn't think someone of his vintage would be into that," a neighbor told New Zealand news outlet Stuff.
