Let me guess, a $20 part took out a million in wine. Regardless that sucks big time!

Re: $20 part
More likely a forklift operator who didn't believe the explicit instructions about keeping the forklift on firm, level ground.
This happens a lot, but not usually with such a fragile and noteworthy load.
And, yes, that REALLY sucks. Not just because of the dollar value, but because that represents a lot of human investment. I would consider it to be on a par with the accidental destruction of an unreplaceable work of art.

I picture Beavis working the forklift and not sure what happened, but is laughing...
