At a high-end restaurant where a meal with wine pairing easily tops 500,000 KRW (approximately $375) per person, this vintage mix-up was a serious shock for food lovers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"se-component\" se-horizontalline se-l-default id=\"SE-D48CFCE2-4732-441C-B078-0C432DA570B9\">\n<div class=\"se-component-content\">\n<div class=\"se-section\" se-section-horizontalline se-l-default se-section-align-left>\n<div class=\"se-module\" se-module-horizontalline>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>\n<div class=\"se-module\" se-module-text se-quote>\n<p class=\"se-text-paragraph\" se-text-paragraph-align-left id=\"SE-61BD312A-9BF9-42C7-8FE1-5D9E257BF01A\"><span class=\"se-fs-\" se-ff- id=\"SE-D09968A7-6054-4DDD-BF9E-84D180B6F87E\">Allegations of intentional deception emerge<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n<div class=\"se-component\" se-image se-l-default id=\"SE-631CF0B0-70A7-44C4-BC59-9BCF662CF9D1\">\n<div class=\"se-component-content\" se-component-content-normal>\n<div class=\"se-section\" se-section-image se-l-default se-section-align-left>\n<div class=\"se-module\" se-module-image>\n     <span> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/04\/CP-2025-0222\/image-7f0a9a9f-0e29-4a35-8d9d-2aaa4f7f2bb2.jpeg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/data-width=597\" data-height=\"692\" alt=\"class=se-image-resource\"> <\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"se-component\" se-text se-l-default id=\"SE-D26CA055-723A-4A53-863C-8C601E1E0948\">\n<div class=\"se-component-content\">\n<div class=\"se-section\" se-section-text se-l-default>\n<div class=\"se-module\" se-module-text>\n<p class=\"se-text-paragraph\" se-text-paragraph-align-left id=\"SE-714E559B-A820-4F65-B0A1-54293C419D08\"><span class=\"se-fs-fs15\" se-ff-nanumbarungothic id=\"SE-031B2143-6CA7-40E9-8758-E475281FE6EF\">The situation escalated beyond a simple serving error because of the sommelier\u2019s handling.

When the diner noticed the wine&#8217;s aroma and taste didn&#8217;t match the menu description and politely asked for confirmation, the sommelier admitted they had poured the 2005 vintage. Rather than offering a sincere apology, the sommelier responded casually with, \\&#8221;We can let you taste the 2000,\\&#8221; which only heightened the diner&#8217;s anger.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"se-component\" se-horizontalline se-l-default id=\"SE-95918574-9F99-49FC-81B0-F01041655F30\">\n<div class=\"se-component-content\">\n<div class=\"se-section\" se-section-horizontalline se-l-default se-section-align-left>\n<div class=\"se-module\" se-module-horizontalline>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>\n<div class=\"se-module\" se-module-text se-quote>\n<p class=\"se-text-paragraph\" se-text-paragraph-align-left id=\"SE-FCC23687-2245-44BD-99B0-501F672D6D5F\"><span class=\"se-fs-\" se-ff- id=\"SE-92F729E0-67DB-46FB-935C-E4916515314E\">Allegations of intentional deception emerge<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n<div class=\"se-component\" se-image se-l-default id=\"SE-98CBD403-51D0-407C-BD9C-BBB6D147D7D2\">\n<div class=\"se-component-content\" se-component-content-normal>\n<div class=\"se-section\" se-section-image se-l-default se-section-align-left>\n<div class=\"se-module\" se-module-image>\n     <span> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/04\/CP-2025-0222\/image-d06383cd-bff1-417e-b4a8-8736b8e5a899.jpeg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/data-width=900\" data-height=\"752\" alt=\"class=se-image-resource\"> <\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"se-component\" se-text se-l-default id=\"SE-B6508B3A-B435-45A8-8928-5336CEDBA316\">\n<div class=\"se-component-content\">\n<div class=\"se-section\" se-section-text se-l-default>\n<div class=\"se-module\" se-module-text>\n<p class=\"se-text-paragraph\" se-text-paragraph-align-left id=\"SE-FE173DF9-CB63-4274-AA7B-387BD43EB093\"><span class=\"se-fs-fs15\" se-ff-nanumbarungothic id=\"SE-4DAB19D3-D469-460C-969A-DF7D5468B1BF\">As the controversy spread, Mosu Seoul issued an official statement on April 23, 2026, and apologized.
