‘Disneyland of fakes’ at China Food & Drinks Fair in Tianjin

Bordeaux in Chateauneuf du pape?

Another novelty at the fair is the strange marriage between Bordeaux and Rhone Valley’s Chateauneuf du Pape.

Spotted at the fair is a Vallee Hapelle Vin de Bordeaux red wine bottled in a Chateauneuf-du-pape bottle.

This is of course an obvious fake as no legitimate producers would fill their Bordeaux reds in a a wine bottle engraved with Chateauneuf du pape. Still, that did not stop producers of counterfeiters.
