Most fine wine labels use a plate press, so look closely for the colour separation from a three-colour screen process, or the squared edges from a dot matrix – the differences can be glaring. Does the label information chime with history? For example, would a Lafite 1811 vintage mention the Pauillac AOC, dating from 1936, or the Rothschild family, owners from 1868? Counterfeiters use all manner of techniques to make that shiny new label look its (false) age. Staining from tobacco, dirt from shellac, the characteristic grooved marks from sandpaper. Some labels, oven-baked in batches, show the ‘ghost’ of another label under close examination.
Wine seller Geoffrey Troy says that frauds often pour cheaper wine into empty bottles of expensive wine. Speaking of Kurniawan, Troy explains, “He could take a $200 bottle and turn it into over a $1,000 bottle.” You can’t spot this kind of fraud from the wine label, because the label is authentic; it’s the wine inside that isn’t. How do you catch this type of counterfeit wine? You either have to taste it, or look at pour lines. In old wines, pour lines get lower the longer the wine is in the cellar. Burgundy that’s more than 15 years old can have a pour line that is as low as two inches below the cork, and Bordeaux can have a pour line as low as the upper shoulder of the bottle. When you buy a 15-year-old Burgundy that has a pour line right up against the cork, this could mean that the previous owner filled the bottle with new, cheap wine. The only other way to catch this type of fraud is to taste the wine and observe it in the glass. To make sure that what you’re drinking is the real deal, look at the color of the liquid. The guide below gives you a sense of what wines of every age should look like. Find additional info on Jason Arnold Fraud in the wine industry.
Sometimes rogue salesmen go around posing as employees of trustworthy, notable companies and scam people out of thousands of dollars. They may forge company logos and use the company name when they’re talking to you. Then, once you give them your money, you aren’t able to find them again. ?Don’t fall prey to this type of wine fraud. When talking to a wine salesman, ensure the number they’re calling from is the actual number on the company’s Google listing. After your conversation, call the company number and ask for the salesperson you previously spoke to. It’s also beneficial to ask for testimonials from previous clients that will back them up.
