Hopkinton police officials say the vintage bottle was taken along with three other bottles from the Hopkinton Wine and Spirits on West Main Street.
Police say two men and a woman worked together to steal the rare bottles. They say while the woman distracted the store clerk, the two men each grabbed two bottles from a cooler labeled "Rare Wines."

In addition to the 1945 Mouton Rothschild, the trio stole a 1992 bottle valued at $300 and two 2000 bottles valued at $875 each.
Surveillance video captured the thieves in action.
The men are described as white, about 20 to 25 years old and weighing about 170 to 190 pounds.
The woman is described as white, 23 to 28 years old and weighing about 120 to 140 pounds.
Police say the thieves may be looking to resell the bottles.
The Mouton Rothschild wine had recently been tasted by experts who gave it a perfect rating. They said it probably has another 50 years of life left in it.
A similar bottle from the same year recently sold at auction for $23,000.
