ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) â€" An unsteady forklift dropped a container full of fine Australian wine worth more than $1 million, smashing most of the bottles. The winemaker says he's "gut-wrenched, shocked and numb" after the loss of his flagship shiraz.

Sparky Marquis of Mollydooker Wines lost a third of his Velvet Glove Shiraz production after the accident that destroyed all but one of the 462 cases bound for the United States. Each bottle of the Mollydooker wine sells for $200.

Marquis said Friday that when workers opened up the dropped container, "it was like a murder scene. There was red everywhere."

He said the wine was fully insured.

The accident has crippled Mollydooker's U.S. launch in September. It will also impact the wine market in Australia. -- http://news.yahoo.com/

Money-wise, mabakwi ra kay insured man, pero nadaot gihapon ang negosyo kay way product nga ma-promote. Unya kausik sa bino nga nibalik sa yuta nga wa moagi sa tinai ni Botoy...
