Re: Chinese wine counterfeiters caught!
It's only a matter of time.
The wine world should be worried what is going to happen to all bottles of BDX and Burg's being sold in China. Once they are empty, they will be "reconditioned" and for sale once again. If anyone knows how to fake something, it's the Chinese.

Its wider than just Bordeaux and Burgandy
There has been quite a bit about this in the news here over the past year.

What's interesting here is that they have taken a brand that is not well known in Australia. I've also read reports of counterfeit Canadian Ice wine.
