A Spanish court sentenced a couple to four years in prison for stealing 45 bottles of wine worth over 1.6 million euros from the Atrio restaurant in Caceres, western Spain. The haul included two bottles from the French winery Chateau d'Yquem, one from 1806 listed for €350,000 and another from 1883 for €45,000. The court also ordered the pair to pay compensation of 753,454 euros to the hotel, as the theft was described as "meticulously planned". Security measures in the hospitality industry are now more important than ever, especially for high-value items such as fine wines.
