A Counterfeit Buzz

China's forgery market has reached the vineyards:

Wine consumption has grown by 16 percent in past three years, making China the ninth-largest wine-drinking country in the world in 2010 … The price of a bottle of Château Lafite Rothschild, considered one of the finest Bordeaux in the world, increased 574 percent, according to Lucas Botebol, who writes about the Chinese wine market on his site Zhongguo-wine.com. And wine merchants believe more than 70 percent of all Lafite bottles sold in China are fake, according to the magazine China International Business.
