A shopkeeper in northeastern China accidentally knocked over a bottle of Maotai worth $617 USD.

A security camera, in the shop located in Harbin, captured the moment the bottle of expensive Chinese liquor smashed as Mr Li went to answer the phone.

Mr Li said: "Looking at the constantly leaking Moutai, I felt very distressed, thinking that it shouldn't be wasted, so I took a few sips with my hands and took a few sips. The friends who helped me were also amused."

This footage was recorded on August 21.
