A lucky customer at a steakhouse last night was able to enjoy a £4,500 bottle of wine - without having to pay for it.
An unwitting member of staff at Hawksmoor in Manchester delivered the pricey bottle to the table after mistaking it for another.
And the customer, thought to be none the wiser, happily drank it.
It is known what wine they originally ordered for the table but they were served a Chateau le Pin Pomerol 2001 which is available online for figures of around £2,000 but can cost double that when served at a restaurant.
Hawksmoor in Manchester tweeted about the mix up this morning but told the member of staff who gave it away to keep their chin up.

They wrote: "To the customer who accidentally got given a bottle of Chateau le Pin Pomerol 2001, which is £4500 on our menu, last night - hope you enjoyed your evening!
"To the member of staff who accidentally gave it away, chin up! One-off mistakes happen and we love you anyway".
On the website vivino.com wine reviewers describe the bottle as 'legendary' and a 'once in a lifetime experience'.

On wineinvestment.com the tasting notes are described: "A tremendous effort, this 500-case cuvee (one of Bordeaux's original garage operations) is even better in 2001 than it was in 2000.
"Its deep ruby/plum/purple color is accompanied by an extraordinary perfume of creme de cassis, cherry liqueur, plums, licorice, caramel, and sweet toast."
They also list the 'market price' of the wine as an eye-watering £36,500.
It is apparently best served with 'all types of classic meat dishes' so hopefully it wasn't wasted with a steak last night.
