Thieves steal 30,000 bottles of wine worth €5m in Italy

Thieves in Italy pulled off a massive heist, stealing 30,000 bottles of premium wine worth around €5m from a Marchesi Antinori storage facility in Tuscany. The masked gang disabled alarms and security cameras before using the winery's own forklifts to load two trucks with valuable vintages like Tignanello, Solaia, and Guado al Tasso.

Chief Executive Renzo Cotarella noted this is the largest theft of its kind in Italy, expressing hope that highway cameras might help authorities track the missing trucks. Given the high individual value of the bottles, investigators suspect the thieves were connoisseurs with inside information.
