Bordeaux warehouse fire

Not sure what was stored there, but two million bottles destroyed

The article mentioned Sovex.
I hope it isn’t this one.

Apparently so.

This might make for painful reading for any wine lovers out there.

A total of 60 firefighters were sent out to try and stop the warehouse blaze in Carbon-Blanc in the suburbs of Bordeaux.

But despite staying for hours to make sure the fire did not break out again, a significant part of the wine stock of producer Sovex Grands Châteaux was destroyed.

Two million bottles valued at ten million pounds.
Couldn’t have been high end stuff.
Wonder if it was insured.

Interesting that the average bottle cost of the loss is $6.50 . . .

High end Bordeaux…
