“We always choose the cheapest wine to save money”Talita tells G1 Bahia. So when her friend Juliana told the others that there was a wine for 28 euros, they didn’t hesitate. It turns out he hadn’t noticed the final zero. A mistake that cost a lot.

The restaurant’s press service assured the above-mentioned media that the employees they knew it was a mistakebut they still charged because the price of the wine was clearly reflected on the menu. However, after the story came out, the restaurant offered them ““polite dinner” to compensate for dissatisfaction.

“Mistura had never been through such a situation, but he was touched by what happened. The restaurant has a very democratic menu, both in gastronomic and wine terms. Mistura’s management sympathized with the inexperience of the young people and tried to contact the group to offer them a free dinner,” the establishment’s statement says.
