It’s not the first time thieves have tried to turn a profit on stolen French wine.
Last year, around 150 bottles of wine were stolen from Maison Rostang, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris. The haul was estimated to cost the restaurant $677,000.
Similarly, in 2015, French Laundry’s Napa Valley-based restaurant was robbed of $500,000 worth of top-shelf wine, which eventually resulted in the indictment of two men, according to the Napa Valley Register.
