The packaging is different, but the wine liquid is the same. Are the wine merchants deceived by the manufacturer?
After purchasing a batch of wine, the wine merchant found that although the packaging and grades of this batch of wine were different, the taste of the wine was exactly the same, and he suspected that he had been deceived by an unscrupulous manufacturer.
This batch of wines shows that its original wine is from the United States California . The original wine manufacturer's company is a wine manufacturer with a large scale and history in California. Filling into Shandong Penglai company.
In fact, this phenomenon of drinking wine is very common. In 2018, a distributor from a catering channel was preparing to purchase a batch of imported wine. It was found that although this batch of wines has the same plugs and the bottle shapes are the same, the regular standards are different and the prices are also different. But when tasting, the taste of these wines is exactly the same. At that time, a wine merchant who knew French at the scene found that there was a misspelling in French on the label.
How should we eliminate such unscrupulous manufacturers in China? The most direct way is to improve your wine professional knowledge and skills, such as paying more attention to our Wine Detective Agency courses, and then you can identify the quality of the wine yourself and avoid such things.
