Well, it was hard to find out who made it, and "why".
BoB's aren't that common in DK and many had tried to find out who this Morgado was.
Not much comes up on the web. To read, that it was bought by Ferreira only made confusion that much bigger, as it was clearly bottled by Forrester.
Then there was some arguing wether it was bona fide or if it was some sort of hack. mainly because of the low price and the large amount of bottles in every single supermarket (of that particular chain).

They put a thin capsule on then, years later, when they re-release the bottles, the bottles get cleaned and a regular capsule is put on top of the first one (along with a new label). I've seen a lot of Symington's bottles like this. That may explain the dual capsules?
It sounds plausible. However, recent bottles does only have a single capsule. "Early" bottles all looked like they'd been submerged in water, as a fine layer of what looked like encrusted mud covered parts of the bottles. Later bottles don't have this, so clearly it's from two different shipments.
This dosen't lower the confusion however, as you don't know if it's the "same" wine you've bought. But at that price, who cares.
