Uncorked 240-year-old wine angers Ukraine 
UKRAINIAN authorities have opened a criminal case into the alleged uncorking of a 240-year-old bottle of wine for Russian President Vladimir Putin and former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi, in Crimea.


THE director of the Massandra winery - which was run by the state of Ukraine until Crimea was annexed by Russia last year - has been accused of embezzlement for allegedly opening a 1775 bottle of sherry, valued at $US100,000 ($A139,400) to $US150,000, the Centre for Journalistic Investigations said on Wednesday.
