Man dies after waiter accidentally serves him glass of detergent instead of wine

Man dies after waiter accidentally serves him glass of detergent instead of wine

Since when does detergent "taste" like wine.???..

 

Absolutely! At face value, this story is odd. As you say, how exactly does detergent taste like wine? And what kind (and how much) detergent would cause death? Maybe this fellow was already "in his cups" when served the dish detergent?

 

Perhaps a death isn't the appropriate context for jokes... but... what the heck... isn't that what UA serves as free wine in the United Clubs?

 

That is more common than you would expect, especially with ice tea:

Actually, some mediocre Rieslings smell kind of like Dawn.

But I'm having a hard time swallowing this story.

 

Sadly however, a man died.

 

I find it highly unlikely that he drank enough to die from it unless he
had never had wine before and chugged it right down. I.e., I'm making
fun because I'm quite sure the story is a fabrication.

 

More info on the owner of the Bar:

The owner of Bar Raconet in the city of Benicarló could now be charged with manslaughter.

He has reportedly been questioned by police but released on bail.
