    wow, it is amazing that a big part of the wines being sold are fake. But I have a question, is there any way to prove that these bottles found are fake without opening them?

  2. Yes, there will be slight errors on the labels. Also, the chateaus know how many bottles are produced and then shipped to each country. So, since there are a large number of bottles from the same vintage in one place they are likely to be fake. If they are unsure they will bring in an expert from one of the big auction houses (Christy’s or Sotheby’s) and they will authenticate them. Opening them, however, could be exciting if they prove to be real!
