France uncovers huge Cotes-du-Rhone wine scam

Link?

PARIS — France’s anti-fraud body says it has uncovered a huge scam in which a merchant tried to sell more than 48 million litres (some 12.7 million gallons) of wine falsely labeled as Cotes-du-Rhone.

The DGCRF said in its annual report Friday that the fraud encompassed the equivalent of 13 Olympic-sized swimming pools full of wine.

About 20 million litres (5.3 million gallons) of the fake Cotes-du-Rhone were offered for sale between 2013 and 2016 through the scam, including 1 million litres (264,000 gallons) bearing the prestigious Chateauneuf-du-Pape name. Investigators seized a 100,000-litre (26,400-gallon) vat of the latter wine.

The merchant, whose identity wasn’t released, was handed preliminary charges of fraud and deception. He was freed on a 1 million-euro ($1.2 million) bail and banned from working at his company.

My favorite pizza in New Haven was actually from a place called Modern Apizza, but Pepe's was a close second.


No, but I would be willing to give it a shot. Some rules are merely guidelines. Wink

Preach!


Preach heresy you mean.

Pineapple, bacon, jalapeno is the best north american style pizza known to man.


You only missed one letter. PBJ=Pepperoni, Bacon & Jalapeno. Right PurpleHaze? Cool

It does in a mango salsa! I make a grilled scallops with mango salsa dish that is really good. I guess I could just call it something else...

Fake Cotes-du-Rhone??!! If you're going to fake red wine, why note Bordeaux or Burgundy?

I'm with you on this! In fact, for tasting, many pros say that their palates are at their best in the morning. Of course this has nothing to do with Bloody Marys, which are also best consumed before noon.

No, no a thousand times NO! Although I'm fond of all these ingredients, it doesn't mean that they should be combined. Ick... Wink

You haven't lived, until you've had a bleu cheese and banana pizza with red sauce. Seriously, best thing I ate in Punta Cana.

I'm afraid I'm with PH on this one, mneeley490! Holy cow that sounds horrible. BUT, you've got good taste so I'd have to give you the benefit of the doubt and try it if I was there. However, it sounds wretched.
