Winemaker forced to move 75,000 bottles from a car park

A Geneva court has ordered a winemaker to remove 75,000 bottles of wine he had been storing in an underground car park. The bottles took up 300 square meters of space.

Although the winemaker was renting the spaces, the owners insisted that they be returned to their original use. 

The legal battle has been going in since 2017. 

The winemaker will also have to pay CHF 30,000 in costs to the car park owners – he’s appealing that, saying it’s punitive. 

But the wine will be moved.
