Today, I dropped a $400 bottle of wine while trying to get the cork out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Wine about it
Today, I knocked over and broke one of two very expensive wine bottles. As I was using the mop to clean it up, the handle knocked over and broke the other. FML
Today, I spent 2 minutes struggling to cork a wine bottle for one of my tables only to have them eventually point out to me that the bottle was a twist-off. FML
Pissed
Today, I saw that the wine bottle I couldn't open last night had a big hole in the top from my struggle to open it. It was a screw top. I must've been drunker than I thought last night. FML
Today, at the winery, my boss proudly made a spectacle of the new, high quality bottles. After over a year of employment without breaking a bottle, I shattered three before lunch. FML
Today, I received a very expensive bottle of wine for Christmas. My alcoholic mother snuck into my house while I was out and drank the whole bottle. FML
Today, while waiting on tables at work, I was carrying a glass of red wine when I lost balance and spilt it everywhere. After cleaning the floor and myself up and after refilling a new glass, I did exactly the same thing again. FML
Fragile
Today, I attempted to open a water bottle. My hand started bleeding before I was able to get the cap loose. FML
First impressions
Today, I went over to my girlfriend's parents house for dinner. This was the first time I was meeting them, so I bought a $70 bottle of red wine to try and impress them. I tried to be smooth while popping the cork. I did, but the bottle slipped and red wine poured onto their white carpet. FML
Today, it was my first day at work as a waitress. The day ended with me owing my employers money, after I accidentally smashed an expensive bottle of wine on the floor. FML
Today, a man tried to rob the winery I worked at by knife-point. I managed to scare him off by throwing a bottle of wine at him. My boss fired me because I broke a $25 bottle of wine. FML

Why would anyone need to buy a $400 bottle of wine? Being a cheap ass myself I found a delicious tasting one for about $4. And sure, I get paying as much as $80 for wine... but 400? That's just a waste of money. Remember, a higher price doesn't always means better taste.

That wasted $400 could've gone towards something much more needed. Like a pair of louboutins.

Getting corks out are at times a real bitch...maybe next time it will become uncorked easier...

It wasn't meant for you to drink it. Everything happens for a reason

Pretentiousness does have a way of biting one in the ass. Next time buy regular wine.

Sop it up with a rag and wring into a glass. Then suck the rag for any remainders. A $400 bottle of wines definitely worth it

YDI for even buying a bottle that expensive. What a waste of money, most likely just to impress people too!

Perhaps OP was opening this as part of a job which is different and it is an FML. Of course people can spend their money as they choose. I've had some good wine and some bad wine. I just can't imagine anything you drink being worth $400 no matter how much money I have. But if I was going to spend that kind of money on something like that I obviously could afford it and I wouldn't ask for pity if I broke it.
