25,000 litres of wine wasted in SA

Wine worth more than $300,000 has gone down the drain after a man allegedly snuck into a South Australian winery and opened the taps.

About 25,000 litres of wine was released from four tanks at the winery, in Lyndoch, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

A 57-year-old Barossa Valley man has been arrested over the incident, and charged with property damage.

He has been bailed to appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on March 31.
