$100 million of counterfeit wine in circulation
Research from NetNames suggests that retailers are losing between $300m and $400m annually to copycats and counterfeiters, with wine counterfeit experts estimating that there is $100m of counterfeit wine currently in circulation.
Alcoholic drinks in particular are being regularly targeted by counterfeiters due to their premium price tag and because they are difficult to identify without tasting the product.
