At least dropping a case of beer doesn't ruin your day...this was in the paper this morning.
It was certainly an expensive drop - more than $1 million worth of shiraz wine has gone down the drain after it was dropped by a malfunctioning forklift.
The 462 cases of 2010 Mollydooker Velvet Glove shiraz - at $185 a bottle - fell more than 6m to the ground as it was being loaded for export from Adelaide to the US.
The drop was so forceful, the bottles punched through the top of the cartons. Winemaker Sparky Marquis said the accident had cost him a third of his annual production.
"We just couldn't believe it," Mr Marquis said.
"This wine is our pride and joy, so to see it accidentally destroyed, and not consumed, has left us all a bit numb."
Mr Marquis now is working with insurance agencies to help recoup the losses.

I'm not a beer fan, so on the very odd occasion I drink it it has to be ice cold - I agree with SRD, who can't taste it as much then!
In the dim and distant past, when I first started doing a bit of genealogy I remember asking my great uncle what religion his father was, expecting him to reply C of E, instead as quick as anything he replied "M&B"!
I must admit I had to have that one explained!!
