Phoney Italian wines sell to the tune of no less than $541 million dollars (of which at least $21 million is labelled DOC), a figure substantially higher than that achieved by the genuine article.
Yikes! That's a huge percentage of fakes we've been buying! DOC labeled wine, too...
How do you really tell the difference when you're buying a bottle?
