Conor McGregor adds €17,500 red wine to Black Forge menu
McGregor charges €6.50 for a pint of Guinness in his pub, compared to his own-brand Forged Irish Stout's €6 price point Conor with Stephanie Simons in the Black Forge with two bottle of Petrus worth €35k Conor McGregor has been whining this weekend about losing his appeal case against Nikita Hand but he also enjoys a wine of a different nature — which is undoubtedly the most expensive served in an Irish pub. The MMA star has on his drinks menu at his Black Forge pub a bottle of Petrus 2005 red wine for an astonishing €17,500. Other bottles of red wine are in the more affordable bracket for most punters, ranging in price from €32 to a still pricey €690, while the cheapest bottle of white is €32. A rosé starts at €36, while bottles of champagne range from €150 to €780. McGregor charges €6.50 for a pint of Guinness in his pub, compared to his own-brand Forged Irish Stout's €6 price point. Most lagers in the pub are priced at €7.30. The Black Forge wine list 'I was taken aback at how someone going to a pub in a working class area like Crumlin would be even thinking about spending nearly twenty grand on a bottle of wine,' remarked one person in the pub, who highlighted the startling price on the menu. 'I was told that of course no one from Crumlin or Drimnagh would spend €17,500 for a bottle of wine, but that it is 'Conor's favourite', and he drinks it from time to time when he's in the pub.' It's unclear whether McGregor actually puts the huge cost of the French wine on his bill, but he would still be hit deep in the pockets either way. That's because online wholesale prices for that same bottle of wine show that it's fetching around €5,600 on the open market, leading to a profit of just over €12,000 if any customer decided to fork out for it in the Black Forge. The 2005 Petrus on the Black Forge wine list for €17.5K . 'Petrus is often considered the pinnacle of the Pomerol appellation and is undoubtedly one of the most revered wines in the world,' says one expert. 'The 2005 Petrus is dazzling. Rich, ample and explosive, the 2005 possesses magnificent density from start to finish.' McGregor is currently on holiday with his family on his yacht in the Mediterranean. On Friday he issued a rambling statement after Nikita Hand's latest victory, in which he vowed he would not be paying his pal James Lawrence's legal costs after the High Court threw out both of their appeals. Conor with Stephanie Simons in the Black Forge with two bottle of Petrus worth €35k McGregor had tried to challenge the outcome of a civil rape case Nikita Hand won against him last year when a jury found he had assaulted her in a Dublin hotel in 2018 and awarded her almost €250,000 in damages. McGregor had asked the Court of Appeal to allow in new claims that Ms Hand was punched and kicked by her then partner just hours after she says she was raped by McGregor in 2018. However, the allegations, made by Samantha O'Reilly and Steven Cummins, former neighbours of Ms Hand, were dramatically withdrawn by McGregor's legal team on the morning the case opened in July. Nikita Hand slammed the allegations as 'lies' and is now suing both the couple and McGregor for damages, claiming they had been involved in 'malicious abuse' of the processes of the Court of Appeal. The Sunday World called to the home of Samantha O'Reilly in south Dublin on Friday but a neighbour told us: 'She doesn't want to talk.'
