most restaurant that have collections by them from a privat collector the liquor board collects 5% of the transaction plus 7% gst. [ quote=Ducky,Feb 5 2005, 07:57 PM] In France this sort of thing is a common occurrance. The celler is robbed, often only the bad wine disappears, and the insurance company pays. In French there is an expression for this game which loosely translates as "refreshing the cellar". (Perhaps a better Francophile than I can help with this.) I am of course not for a moment suggesting that this ocurred at the BFB. I am rather just describing a phenomenon that, to my understanding, is quite common in the industry. ←
