This is the moment a huge ‘wall of wine’ smashed to the floor when a restaurant worker pulled out a bottle.
The footage was captured on a CCTV camera at restaurant Frou Frou in St Petersburg, Russia.
The video shows the man pull out one of the scores of bottles stored in a suspended wine rack made of rope. He checks the label before putting the bottle back.

However, the restaurant worker nudges the bottle above causing the column to cascade.
It appears that the man has stopped the whole wall collapsing, but as a colleague comes to his aid, the remaining bottles are smashed.
The bottles were hung from the ceiling by a network of ropes.
One of the ropes is believed to have broken when the man selected a bottle from those hanging there.

That caused a cascading chain-reaction, which eventually resulted in almost all of them crashing to the ground.
The cost of damage is not yet known, but reports estimated it at around a million rubles (£11,181).
The employee involved in the expensive mishap has not been fired as the incident was not deemed to have been his fault.
Initial reports suggested the wine wall was prone to collapse due to unspecified miscalculations by the wine room manufacturers meaning they could face a claim.
