In a world full of temptations for the taste buds, I always love to find food and wine that will make people shine. Today, let's unravel the mystery of the world of red wine and learn how to discern the pearls and avoid those frustrating fake wine traps.
Red wine, with its deep color and complex aroma, seems to be a romantic poem given to us by nature. It is not only a drink, but also a life attitude and a cultural enjoyment. With the improvement of quality of life, more and more friends have begun to collect a few bottles of red wine at home and enjoy a drink in their leisure time, which can not only add to the excitement of life, but also enjoy the health benefits it brings. However, there are many red wine brands on the market, and it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake, how to ensure that the red wine in your hand is a real wine?
The Secret of the Bottle Top - COPY's Alarm Bell
When you stand in front of the wine rack with anticipation, don't be tempted by the ornate labels, and remember to look up at the top of the bottle. Imported red wine usually has an anti-counterfeiting logo or brand-specific code on the top of the bottle, but if you find the inconspicuous word "COPY", you have to keep an eye on it. This is often a trick by small workshops to confuse the public, implying that the authenticity of the bottle is greatly reduced.
The study of units of measurement - the contest between CL and ML
Continue our journey and turn our gaze to the units of measurement on the bottle. There is an unwritten rule in the world of imported wines that the use of "cl" (centiliter) is the lingua franca of the master winemakers. If a bottle of wine is marked with "ml" (ml), it may be a sign of domestic wine or counterfeit imports, which is worth considering.
The country code in the barcode
Pick up your phone and scan it, there are a lot of stories in the barcode. The first number is a clue to the origin: 0 for the United States, 3 for France, 6 for China, 7 for Chile, 8 for Spain, 9 for Australia, each of which quietly tells you the origin of the bottle. The next time you make a purchase, you might as well scan the barcode first so that the fake wine has nowhere to hide.
The truth behind the label - the secret of the back label in Chinese
Finally, don't forget to check the label on the back. According to the regulations, in addition to the label of the country of origin, real imported red wine must also be accompanied by a detailed Chinese back label, including important information such as ingredients, net content, and production date. Without this crucial detail, the bottle's import identity is questionable.

All in all, to find a truly good wine in the dazzling world of red wines, you need not only a pursuit of beauty, but also a bit of detective acumen. Keep these tips in mind and you'll be able to feel more confident the next time you buy wine, so that those fake wines that are trying to get away with it will have nowhere to hide.
