132 valuable wine bottles worth 200,000 euros were stolen from the Spanish two-star restaurant Coque de Madrid. The restaurant's wine collection is considered one of the best in the country. According to reports, the thieves gained access to the Coque de Madrid through a recently closed pharmacy next door. The police assume that it was a commissioned theft, as the thieves apparently only targeted the most exclusive wines in the cellar. The wine cellar contains 25,000 bottles, some of which are of great rarity.
"I don't know if the insurance will cover it, but it won't cover the sentimental value. We had bottles here that belonged to my grandfather and were passed down from generation to generation, and not even the wineries themselves own them," says Rafael Sandoval, the restaurant's sommelier and one of the three owners.
