Sounds like a sad waste of a good red! You are more deserving of it now.More seriously, have you been able to compare notes with your other neighbours? There may be quite a trail of vexatious complaints from this person.
I agree. Demanding money when there is no legal basis for payment, and based on false information and empty threats, is bordering on extortion and fraud.
All these ‘bush lawyers’ in strata who think they are entitled to be compensated for every minor inconvenience need a reality check. A brusque note telling them to either put or shut up or you will refer this to the police might have the desire effect. Or, just for a laugh, you could threaten to sue for accepting a bottle of red under false pretenses.
