My guess is that the wine had already been removed before the couple sat down for dinner. The waiter and the couple were in on it.

It is a good theory.

The wine may have been sold to private collectors, for cash, piecemeal. Then, whoever did that needed to cover their tracks, so this story was concocted.

Thanks. I watch a lot of reruns of "Columbo."
