The Strange World of Wine Fraud
Filed under: Wine
Decanter has a fascinating piece on wine fraud at the upper levels.
At a conference on wine investment in London, the head of Sotheby's wine department spoke about the increase in wine
fraud. Counterfeit wine is prevalent in the US and Asia. The trophy wines such as the 45,47 and 61 vintages are
most copied using photocopied labels or different bottles. Because the wine used to counterfeit is also top end,
sometimes wealthy people will not know they are getting a fake, Sutcliffe said that wines with a solid traceable
history should be valued more than other wines. As she says there were more 45s sold and drunk in 1995 than had ever
been made and many wines that aren't actually available anymore are still being sold. So if that super deal on a 1961
Cheval-Blanc sounds too good to be true it probably is.
