Perhaps the wine industry should take a lesson from the fashion industry, and hold contests by which artists create new slogans to ramp up awareness that fakes exist at all. Bazaar magazine is, I think, still running its “Fakes are never in fashion” campaign.

Dylan, well I don’t know. I was just quoting from the guy’s column where he said he saw it. I figured they mixed the two in one glass.

Steve, when you say the businessmen mixed the wine with Coca Cola, do you mean that they put the two together in the same glass, or were taking sips between the two beverages. In either case, is that a popular thing to do in Hong Kong or just an isolated incident as an anecdote?

Steve,
I assure you he was. The whole thing just made me sad for that wine…to be treated with such disrespect, bummed me out.

Hey, Is this Robin “Gotcha” Goldstein? (the picture looks like him).
I didn’t know he had a gig with the Times now.
