I know my wine is real because I get it directly from the winery or winemaker on release.
It's very disappointing to read in this article that counterfeiters are going downmarket from the likes of DRC and Petrus and producing fakes that regular winos might buy.
It was interesting to hear Iugov's various excuses toward the end of the article. It was retailers' fault who knew the deal was too good to be true. People also counterfeit handbags. He never counterfeited anything over €15K. He can't be that bad because he lives in a one-bedroom apartment.
I wonder why he bothers. He makes his living deceiving people and stealing value from vintners. He would would be more sympathetic if he was honest with himself. As it is, it just sounded like whining.

Just the other day my wife and I were talking about how much we learned from The Simpsons.
I just connected the dots because of the episode where some French thugs put antifreeze in their bootleg wine.
