1. The mysterious "drilled Moutai"
Zhejiang TV reported: A liquor distributor in Hangzhou bought 95 bottles of Moutai, of which 75 bottles were found to be "drilled" and dropped fake wine.
Recently, Mr. Chen, a wine merchant in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, encountered unprecedented problems in the process of operation. He is from Ningbo
A trading company purchased a batch of Feitian Moutai, a total of 95 bottles. After the purchase of this batch of wine, Mr. Chan did not immediately open the sale, but planned to store it for a period of time. However, by chance not long after, he opened a bottle of wine for tasting. This taste surprised him!
Mr. Chen found that the taste of this bottle of wine was very different from the usual Feitian Moutai, and he obviously felt that the quality of the wine was wrong. He immediately became suspicious of the whole batch of wine. To test his hypothesis, he randomly selected a few other bottles to try. The results are the same, and the taste of these wines is far from the original.
2. Discover the secret of "drilling".
Mr. Chan decided to investigate the issue of this batch of wine in depth. He examined the contents of each bottle one by one and soon discovered an anomaly. Near the label on the bottle body, there are some small holes that are not easy to detect. These small holes are only 0.02 mm in diameter and cannot be detected without looking closely. But it is these small holes that have become the key clues to uncover the secret of "Drilled Moutai".
Mr. Chen immediately contacted the professional appraisers of Moutai Distillery. After two days of careful identification, the appraisers confirmed that there were punch marks on the back labels of these bottles. These "drilled" Moutai liquors are pumped out and then injected into other low-priced liquors. Of the 95 bottles of Feitian Moutai purchased by Mr. Chen, 76 bottles were "drilled" Moutai!
3. Reveal the secrets of counterfeiting methods
After investigation, Mr. Chen and the appraisers found that the counterfeiting methods of these "drilled" Moutai were extremely hidden. Counterfeiters use professional equipment to drill holes in real Moutai bottles and then extract the real liquor. This process requires great care, as the slightest mistake can damage the bottle and expose signs of counterfeiting.
In order to cover up the truth, counterfeiters will also plug the holes with porcelain powder and apply back the labels to make them look indistinguishable from the original. This kind of counterfeiting method is very confusing, and it is difficult for ordinary consumers to find out what is greasy.
Fourth, the road to consumer rights protection
Faced with such rampant counterfeiting, Mr. Chen decided to stand up and defend his rights. He first contacted a trading company in Ningbo to negotiate a return or exchange. However, the other party rejected Mr. Chen's request for various reasons. In desperation, Mr. Chen had no choice but to file a complaint with the relevant regulatory authorities.
After the investigation and evidence collection of the market supervision and the public security organs, the two suspects were successfully arrested. At the same time, the relevant departments have also strengthened the supervision of the Moutai liquor market and severely cracked down on the production and sale of counterfeits. Although Mr. Chen's road to defending his rights was difficult, his courageous actions unveiled the shady curtain behind the "drilled Moutai" for consumers.
5. Call on the society to pay attention to it
This "drilling Moutai" incident has once again aroused people's attention to the authenticity of Moutai. As a national treasure, Moutai carries a strong cultural connotation. However, the production and sale of counterfeit goods such as "drilling" Moutai has seriously damaged the interests of consumers and the reputation of the Moutai brand.
In order to protect this national treasure brand from damage, all sectors of society must be involved. The government should strengthen supervision and crackdown; the media should play the role of public opinion supervision; consumers should raise their awareness of self-protection; Moutai manufacturers should strengthen the research and development and application of anti-counterfeiting technology; relevant departments should establish a sound anti-counterfeiting mechanism; all sectors of society should pay attention to and participate in the work of cracking down on the production and sale of counterfeit goods, so as to contribute their own strength to maintaining market order and consumer rights and interests!
