A lucky customer at a steakhouse was mistakenly given a £4,500 bottle of wine in a costly mix-up.
An unwitting member of staff delivered the pricey bottle to the table after the customer ordered a bottle worth £260.
However, the diner was none the wiser and happily drank the much pricier bottle, reports Mirror Online .
On Twitter, the restaurant said "mistakes happen" and hoped the customer enjoyed their evening.
The bottle they had originally ordered was the Chateau Pichon Longueville Contesse de Lalande 2001, which is also a Bordeaux.
Instead 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.
Restaurant Hawksmoor in Manchester tweeted about the mix up this morning (May 16) 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 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.
