Wine made Page Six! This should be good, right? The NY director of sales and the district manager at Southern Wine & Spirits (SWS), one of the country’s behemoth wine and spirits distributors, hold the honor.

So they decided to go to a night club, The Hustler Club, order two bottles of the wine for $1,000, then be photographed dumping the wines out.

Small wonder Laurent-Perrier left Southern. See the pix over at nypost.com Since the Post story, Southern says...
