It's a wine lover's nightmare - thousands of bottles of the world's finest grape juice crash on the floor, leading to a tsunami of undrinkable vino.
At Superior Discount Liquors in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, that disastrous scenario really did happen.
A 78ft long shelving unit suddenly becoming detached from its anchoring wall.
Standing four shelves high, a total of 6,810 bottles of wine and champagne smashed on the floor.
The liquor turned into a sea of red and broken glass. Managers at the store are stumped as to why or how it happened, but did admit the shelves are 31 years old.
Video at source.

Those are really quick footed employees. It’s lucky no one was hurt. I wonder if someone else recorded this video, or if it is from a security camera?

It was The Snoid From Sheboygan’s fault!

They’ve turned the video footage into a cute ad. Good thinking.

Looks like earthquake footage - without the earthquake.

The owner said he was really, really hurting over this but I think it was just sham pain.

...and the shelves had a thirty year warranty, right?
