There\u2019s no denying that the Italians take everything to do with their wines and foods very seriously.<\/p>\n

And so they should. Italy has carefully cultivated a reputation as one of the main hubs for foodies and wine lovers<\/strong> alike. Italian wines<\/a> are extremely popular because of the level of quality that they possess. And many Italian foods have such a local flavour<\/strong> that it\u2019s impossible to produce them anywhere else.<\/p>\n

There are even organisations that are dedicated to ensuring that Italian wines are as legitimate as possible. The most famous of these, of course, are the DOC<\/em>. They certify wines with DOC or DOCG status<\/strong> as long as they meet the very stringent conditions<\/strong> that the organisation puts forth.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a problem with any sort of product that achieves a high level of popularity.<\/p>\n

There will always be people who want to profit off the hard work of others. And they\u2019ll do it by creating forgeries<\/strong> that claim to be the real thing.<\/p>\n

We see it in every industry in the world. The fashion industry is awash in fake designer labels that fool people into thinking they\u2019re paying for the real thing. It\u2019s even a problem in tech circles. Piracy has massive effects on the movie, music and gaming industries.<\/p>\n

The Italian wine industry is no different. Wine is big business, which means there\u2019s plenty of money <\/strong>to be made by people who can knock together convincing forgeries.<\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019re going to take a look at some of the most faked <\/strong>Italian wines<\/strong>. And then, we\u2019re going to tell you why you have to avoid them.<\/p>\n

The Most Faked Wines<\/h2>\n

Practically any Italian wine with good name value<\/a> is likely to fall victim to counterfeiters at one point or another.<\/p>\n

Prosecco<\/em><\/a><\/strong> is an obvious victim of this. The most popular sparkling white wine in the world<\/strong>, Prosecco<\/em> is sold in the tens of millions<\/strong> every years. You could even argue that the modern age is a golden era for Prosecco<\/em> producers.<\/p>\n

But that makes it a golden era for the fakers too.<\/p>\n

Thousands upon thousands of fake bottles of Prosecco<\/em> make their way to unsuspecting customers every year. This is especially a problem for the countries that Italy import wine to. Only recently, an investigation by the UK\u2019s Food Standards Agency<\/em><\/strong> found cases containing thousands of bottles<\/strong> of Prosecco<\/em> that were all fake.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s only the tip of the iceberg. It\u2019s likely that there are hundreds of thousands of fake bottles<\/strong> of Prosecco<\/em> out there that go undetected.<\/p>\n

Italy\u2019s red wines<\/a> are not immune to forgery either. Back in 2014<\/strong>, a wine forging operation was busted in Tuscany<\/a>. The counterfeiters had produced about 5 million euros worth of fake wines<\/strong> that carried various famous Tuscan labels.<\/p>\n

This is less a case of a specific wine being a forgery so much as it is an entire region falling victim to counterfeiters. Tuscany may well be Italy\u2019s most renowned wine region. Wines from Tuscany<\/a> generally hit a high standard of quality<\/strong>, which means people look out for the location on the labels of bottles.<\/p>\n

The forgers took advantage of this to produce fakes that carried the Tuscan name without any of the quality associated with the region.<\/p>\n

Forgeries are also a big problem in the collector\u2019s market<\/strong>. There\u2019s a lot of money to be made by selling high-end wine forgeries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In that sector of the market, no Italian wine gets counterfeited more than Sassicaia<\/em><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One of Italy\u2019s most collectible red wines, Sassicaia<\/em> is highly sought after, which makes it a great target for the fakers. Each vintage brings with it a bunch of counterfeits, many of which are so carefully crafted that they can fool even the most experienced of people \u2013 at least until they open the bottle.<\/p>\n

Suspicions surrounding this type of wine rise whenever sellers seem able to locate and sell bottles without any major issues<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Counterfeiting affects the Italian wine industry at all levels. From popular types through to popular regions, the fakers will use whatever will sell to turn a quick profit.<\/p>\n

But why should you care?<\/p>\n

Reasons to Avoid Counterfeit Wines<\/h2>\n

There are plenty of reasons to avoid counterfeit wines whenever you\u2019re able to.<\/p>\n

The first is the same reason that\u2019s used to dissuade piracy<\/strong>. When you buy a forgery, you\u2019re not putting money into the pockets of the people who worked day and night to create an absolutely amazing wine. Instead, you\u2019re often paying people who will funnel that money into more illicit ventures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You may think that the issue won\u2019t have a major effect on the big wine companies. But what about the smaller companies<\/strong>. If a small company produces a wine that becomes popular, they become a target for counterfeiters. And if people get fooled<\/strong> by the fake wine, such small producers may not be able to sustain themselves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of course, taking care of the Italian wine<\/a> industry isn\u2019t the only reason to avoid forgeries.<\/p>\n

A fake wine can be severely damaging to your health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Think about it. Nobody\u2019s policing the counterfeiters when it comes to what they put into their wines. That means they could be adding all sorts of chemicals<\/strong> in an effort to create the taste that you get from a legitimate wine.<\/p>\n

You have no idea about this, which means you\u2019re drinking something that probably shouldn\u2019t be finding its way into your body. Contrast that with the legitimate industry<\/strong>, where every bottle of wine has to meet certain quality conditions<\/strong>, and it\u2019s clear why you should avoid forgeries wherever possible.<\/p>\n

The Final Word<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s unlikely that the issue of fake wines will go away anytime soon. But there\u2019s plenty that you can do to put a dent into the industry.<\/p>\n

Make sure that you only buy your wines from reputable merchants<\/strong>. If you don\u2019t trust the supplier, you can\u2019t trust the legitimacy of their wine either.<\/p>\n

And always check the label<\/strong>. A lot of forgeries don\u2019t take proper care to replicate the labels. Use the web<\/strong> to get the information that you need to avoid the fakes.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
