Put a $200 bottle up against $30 bottle and 95% of you won't be able to tell the difference. Its decadence that we have reached in age in our culture that so many counterfeits exist in an industry that sadly lost its simplicity in the last hundred years.
Counterfeit wines expose the unspoken reality of the vintage wine market: an old wine has no more intrinsic value than a new one. What gives it value is the story. And at the end of the day, if the buyer (and probably more importantly the people they are trying to impress) believes the story, there is no victim.
Or maybe they should take samples of the best wines and have chemists analyze their components and ratios, then recreate them, so the good vintages will never run out. Reverse engineering is not counterfeiting as long as its disclosed.
Or how about you just grow grapes, add your yeast and make wine like they have been doing for thousands of years instead of adding a bunch of chemicals and flavorings to imitate something way over priced.

It is so funny that this is published by Forbes, the proud owner of a bottle of real Thomas Jefferson's wine.
Lol@that first line
This is scary!
