CCTV Exposes "Chemical Wine" Pigment Blending Alcohol ◆ Event Water+Pigment+Alcohol+Essence = "Wine" Recently, CCTV's focus interview exposed the inside story of wine-making manufacturers around Changli County, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province. Five brands, Ye Li, Baxter, Cupid, Jiahua and Hanyu, were blacklisted. In these fake wine factories, "wine" is blended with water, pigment, alcohol and essence. CCTV survey found that some wine producers in Changli County, Hebei Province made fake wine by mixing alcohol with additives, flavors and pigments, and some even did not contain any grape juice. After that, the manufacturers labeled all kinds of domestic and foreign wines and sold them as famous brands. Packaging and printing plants around Changli County are still printing counterfeit brand-name wine packages and labels, including labels of brands such as Great Wall and Changyu. The salesman of the company said that the fake wine trademarks they produced were in short supply in the local area. "Not only domestic wines, but even imported wines are counterfeiters." Some wine industry practitioners told reporters that the usual trick is to import bulk wine from abroad and fill it in China to become imported wine. The worst thing is to recycle foreign wine bottles and then fill them for counterfeiting. Cheng, the sales manager of Changli Jiahua Grape Brewing Co., Ltd., who makes fake wine, said that the fake wine (simulation degree) is over 95%, and it can sell about 400,000 cases a year. ◆ Progress exposure The fact that six people were arrested and detained by various enterprises has attracted great attention from Hebei Province and Qinhuangdao City. The Hebei Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government publicly stated that it is necessary to do a good job in inventory work with iron wrists and decisive measures, and severely crack down on illegal activities. At present, six people involved in the case have been criminally detained, 16 corporate accounts have been sealed up, and 2.834 million yuan of funds have been frozen. According to reports, the Qinhuangdao Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government set up seven ad hoc working groups at the first time and rushed to Changli and other places to carry out investigation and evidence collection. All exposed enterprises were sealed up, and all products were sealed and sampled. It is reported that Qinhuangdao City has decided to carry out special rectification of dry red wine in the whole city. Focus on a thorough investigation of all wine production enterprises and small workshops in the city to learn more about the production and operation of enterprises and the sales channels of products. Resolutely shut down enterprises suspected of making and selling fake goods and deal with them severely according to law. Enterprises with irregular management shall be closed down for rectification, their production and operation behaviors shall be standardized, and quality and safety commitment letters shall be signed with enterprises. The city will also improve the system of enterprise production declaration and product filing, establish and improve the quality, safety and integrity files, conduct batch inspection on the produced dry red wine, comprehensively clean up the wine market in the city, and do a good job in removing, sealing, recalling and destroying the problem dry red wine. A few days ago, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine also asked quality inspection departments at all levels to further intensify the crackdown on illegal activities of counterfeiting and selling fakes in combination with the special actions of food quality and safety supervision, law enforcement and inspection deployed throughout the country during New Year's Day and Spring Festival. Reporters who have not seen exposed products in Guangzhou market recently visited Guangzhou market and found that there are still alcoholic products sold in supermarkets in urban areas in Changli, Hebei Province as usual. On the shelves of CR Vanguard Supermarket in Wuyang New Town, all kinds of wines are displayed. Most domestic wines are produced in Shandong, Tianjin, Yunnan and other places, and the price ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan. At present, only the famous brand Great Wall wine Huaxia series wine in China is clearly marked as produced in Changli, Hebei Province. A salesperson in the liquor area told reporters that they had also seen the news reports of Changli fake wine. Some fakes don't mean all of them are fakes. Supermarkets simply won't place orders with those messy small factories. All the wines in China are sold by famous factories, and only the Great Wall has the wines produced in Changli. However, there are many varieties of Great Wall wines, and Yantai and Shacheng all produce series, so many people come to buy them, and the sales volume has not been significantly affected. In supermarkets and wholesale markets in Guangzhou, the reporter has not found these five blacklisted brands: Wild Power, Black & Decker, Cupid, Jiahua and Hanyu. Industry quality base is controlled by large enterprises. Experts in the industry pointed out that Changli wine fraud incident had a huge negative impact on the development of the whole wine industry in China. The incident reflects the lack of domestic wine market supervision, and also reflects from one side that the contradiction between the rapid growth of wine demand in China and the insufficient supply of domestic wine enterprises is restricted by the scarcity of high-quality wine raw materials. It is understood that several major domestic high-quality wine raw material producing areas have been occupied by major domestic wine companies. Take Xinjiang as an example. At present, Xinjiang's high-quality producing areas have been basically taken over by citic guoan Wine Industry, the largest local wine producer. According to the data, citic guoan Liquor Industry has a unique wine grape base of 6,543.8+0.5 million mu in Xinjiang. By using the concept of "producing area ecology", a strict grading system of ecological quality in producing areas was established from five aspects: Portuguese garden conditions, raw material standards, brewing standards, winemakers and storage standards. The development space left for small enterprises is very limited. Small enterprises want to survive, but "cooking without rice", so they choose to make up for it, and the lack of supervision finally makes fraud unimpeded. Harm causes gastrointestinal diseases, especially liver and kidney damage. So what impact will these fake wines made of water, alcohol, essence and pigment have on consumers' health? According to medical professionals, bottled drinks need to go through distillation and other processes, but distillation and other equipment are more expensive, and some businesses carry out irregular production. In the production process, some harmful substances will enter, pollute the beverage, cause gastrointestinal diseases and damage the liver and kidney of the human body. In response to this matter, the industry and commerce department also said a few days ago that it has strengthened control over the channels for buying red wine. "Especially the red wine produced in Changli, Hebei Province, will strictly review its manufacturers. In the near future, we will mainly control the purchase channels, and the next step will continue to check the inferior red wine on the market. " At the same time, the industry and commerce department reminds consumers that not every bottle of red wine produced in Changli has problems, and buying wine must depend on manufacturers and brands. ◆ Tips on how to buy authentic wine? New Year's Day and New Year's Day come one after another, and healthy wine is naturally a good wine for dinner. So, how to choose authentic wine? Those who want to buy high-quality domestic red wine may wish to look at the following tips: the color of high-quality wine will turn dark blue after adding alkali, but the inferior wine will not react with alkali. Knowing this truth, when people drink red wine, they might as well try it with sodium hydroxide or household white vinegar and edible alkali. In addition, it can also be distinguished by looking at the logo, appearance and taste of the wine. You can't add anything to the original wine. If sugar is added, the alcohol content of the wine will be improved; Adding potassium sorbate (preservative) will destroy the composition of wine, and then affect the quality of wine. From the appearance, the real wine is transparent and shiny, the color is consistent with the name of the wine, the color is natural and pleasing to the eye, and the aroma is balanced and harmonious. Fake wine is turbid and dull, the color does not match the name of the wine, it has no natural feeling, the color is gorgeous, and it has obvious artificial pigment feeling. Finally, taste the wine. Real wine tastes pleasant, soft, full and complete, and has a long aftertaste; Fake wine has outstanding fruit flavor (with essence), outstanding alcohol flavor, outstanding foreign flavor, thin body and no aftertaste. .
