WINE FOUND

Lyon: Bottles of fine wine worth hundreds of thousands of euros have been returned to a top French chef, police said on Thursday.

Thieves took 320 bottles of vintage wine from Jean Sulpice’s restaurant by picturesque Lake Annecy in the French Alps in February — just two days after he was awarded two Michelin stars. The wine, worth a total of 400,000 euros $ 490,000), was stolen from the cellar of the Auberge du Pere Bise, where clients pay up to 92 euros for a starter, 84 euros for a main course and 210 euros for a tasting menu.

“We have arrested the perpetrators of the burglary, four in number, and their accomplices. Some 250 bottles out of the 320 stolen were found,” the police said.
