A man has been arrested in the prestigious French wine region of Burgundy after allegedly stealing 7,000 bottles worth around 500,000 euros ($550,000) from a string of employers, prosecutors said on Thursday.
Local newspaper Journal de Saone-et-Loire, which first reported the case, said the 56-year-old was filmed by a security camera taking four bottles of wine from his employer, who went to the police.
A search of his and his mother's house found the four bottles -- and around 7,000 others accumulated over 15 years from other wine estates where he had worked around the historic town of Beaune, the daily said.
