Merl-oh no.

Police in New York City are investigating the burglary of a wine shop in Manhattan — a theft that reportedly wiped the store of its entire inventory.

Police say the suspect, who remains unidentified, managed to flee to "parts unknown" after making off with approximately $300,000 worth of merchandise.

The owner of Taste Wine Co. in the East Village reported the burglary on Tuesday, the New York Post reports. He told officials he was last inside the store’s physical location on Jan. 8 (the shop also does business online), but claimed the entire inventory was still in stock at that time.
