轉貼：嚴重質疑!假酒事件!!! *請全台酒界注意!!!

其實分辨真假酒還有很多＂眉角＂,不過最重要的還是確定來源,當然直接從酒莊出貨(Ex-Chateau)是最安全,酒質也最無風險,不過價格也最高,不然還是得從有信譽的酒商購得.

不過國內酒商的貨源有些亂,不像國外對於酒的來源有較詳盡的說明,來源不同,價格也不同,來源價格由高而低依序為 Ex-Chateau, France, UK, USA(其他條件如酒標,酒位,瓶蓋或原木箱等狀態為一樣時)

不過有時候到國際知名拍賣如Sotheby's, TCWC, Zachy's......等買到的酒也不一定100%是真的,買到假酒的案例也有發生過!附上英文報導,供大家參考(請恕無翻譯）!　

Wealthy wine collector Bill Koch and one of the targets of his five-year campaign against counterfeit wines have settled out of court. Zachys Wine Auctions and Koch issued a joint announcement Monday that they had agreed on a settlement of Koch’s pending lawsuit from 2007. No financial terms were announced, and Zachys’ executives did not say whether any of the wines at question in the suit are counterfeit, but the New York auction house has agreed to amend the language of its auction catalogs.

Koch, a Florida energy executive who spent more than $12 million amassing a 40,000-bottle cellar beginning in the late 1980s, has spent several million dollars suing wine merchants and auction houses over alleged counterfeits. None of the cases have yet been decided in court. In 2004 and 2005, Koch spent $370,000 at Zachys auctions on 19 bottles that he now alleges are fake or possibly fake. In a 2007 interview with Wine Spectator, Zachys president Jeff Zacharia denied any wrongdoing. "We offered him a refund. Bill has said he is trying to single-handedly change the industry through the courts," he said. "In any industry, there are issues. I never find going through the legal system an efficient and productive way to solve problems."

Koch has repeatedly objected to disclaimer language in auction-house catalogs. "[The auction houses] put out these slick catalogs that describe lots glowingly,” Koch told Wine Spectator in 2009. “If an auction house were to say this was Jesus' bottle, we've inspected it, and you come back to them and say it's fake, they say, oh, look at the fine print in the back of the catalog. It says that you can't rely on anything we say. Everything is sold 'as is.' I find that extremely offensive." Two judges, however, have accepted that argument, dismissing some of Koch's claims in other cases, ruling that by bidding he agreed to the auctioneers' rules.

Now Zachys has agreed to change that language. “I am pleased that Zachys has agreed to amend the Conditions of Sale set forth in its auction catalogues and other materials to indicate that it will provide refunds for wine that is counterfeit, or wine that has indicia that it is not authentic, notwithstanding ‘as is’ clauses or other disclaimers,” Koch said in a statement.

Zacharia echoed that sentiment in the statement. “Zachys was founded as a family business in 1944 and remains a family business today. We are committed to preventing the sale or auction of counterfeit wine. Furthermore, we support Bill Koch’s extensive efforts to rid the fine-wine market of counterfeiters.”

Many of the wines Koch bought at the Zachys auction were consigned by Silicon Valley entrepreneur and collector Eric Greenberg. Koch is still suing Greenberg, despite today’s settlement. Lawyers have been deposing witnesses on both sides of the case for several months. A trial may begin soon if a settlement is not reached.

關於台中樂沐餐廳 侍酒師 何信緯Thomas Ho先生 2011年12月26日，在其facebook上發表之言論，質疑漢時企業進口1989 Louis Max Romanee Saint-Vivant為假酒事件。未經查證即在網路上發表不當言論，已嚴重影響到漢時企業的商譽。雖其在2011年12月27日公開聲明及轉貼Louis Max的回文如下：

1.本人 何信緯 於2011年12月25日於台中樂沐法式餐廳執業時發現3瓶1989年Louis Max酒莊的Romanée St.Vivant 其酒標與其軟木塞1991Domaine Robert Arnoux 不符,經客人查問下,確有此事,特發此聲明.

2.本人 何信緯 從事侍酒師職位一職,基於對侍酒師職業的熱愛及專業高度的維持,經客人詢問此狀況後,我解述此事並告知.在Facebook上之言論皆為本人為之.

3. 此次葡萄酒酒標與軟木塞不符的意外事件,據台灣代理酒商 漢時企業宣稱,屬原酒廠疏失,應與漢時企業無關.

4.台中樂沐餐廳長期維持葡萄酒的品質水準,並未販售此酒,而此事件為本人所遇到的單一事件,相信台灣葡萄酒代理商們也會堅決杜絕此類似事件發生,也衷心期盼台灣的葡萄酒業能更加蓬勃發展。

特此聲明     何信緯Thomas HO 2011年12月27日

以下為 Louis Max 酒莊的 Directrice Export Cécile Chenu-Repolt小姐於12月27日的回覆

Dear Thomas,

I am so sorry about what happened in your restaurant. Many thanks for informing us.

The wine was sold to Bright Time company a long time ago. I don’t think they did fake labels of our wine, they are serious company.

But I can not explain how a label of 1989 arrived on a wine of 1991. We did produce some Romanée Saint Vivant a long time ago.

Robert Arnoux is a very good wine growers so I am sure the wine was very good.

My company is closed during Christmas and New Year but I will try to find out what happened when we open again.

With best regards,

Cécile

盼各位在轉貼文章時，請勿隨意轉貼何信緯先生之原文，以免觸法，損害漢時企業商譽，並共同觸犯誹謗罪。

若自家進口商品有問題時, 請問漢時堂堂一個大酒商, 如何對應呢? 應該不是只是告人而以吧!

得饒人處且饒人!

難得葡萄酒區這麼熱鬧,有興趣者可點連結看看有關假酒報導!

買了十幾年的酒,知名酒商都交易過,雖然知道漢時,但沒真正交易過,如果有幾十年經驗的進口酒販賣,那進口酒標示不符,你們都沒督導責任就對了?消費者買到標示不清的產品就活該擔心受怕是否喝到假酒?你們一旦知道事情發生有先回收嗎?還是繼續賣?有通知消費者先暫停飲用靜待調查嗎?甚麼都沒做?請問你們的信譽在哪?不需要檢討自己嗎?不需要跟擔心的消費者道歉嗎?

我一年買酒常超過數百萬至千萬,最恨酒商敷衍回答:連調查都未,第一反應就是沒問題?我有跟XX買六箱Krug NV,品質被質疑不好,後雖證實沒問題,但業者完全被動式回答而沒積極處理,只會回答沒問題,這種酒商都會被打XXX.

引言：
法你們站得住腳,但信譽是消費者定義,信譽不是要酒商做到完美,因為酒目前不可能做到每瓶都完美,而是願意承認自己的不完美,勇於承認錯誤並改進!

熱心的小侍酒師或許有貼文發言有不當之處, 但堂堂號稱資深大酒商, 對販售高檔酒類出問題的反應只是會告人, 至少我在P9這看不到任何對應, 只會說是原廠出包.

P9這裡觀看的酒友, 心裡自有一把尺 !

另外奉勸該大酒商, 設在大樂大統專櫃對葡萄酒的展售保存方式, 個人實在難以認同, 更不要說價格了!

這篇彙集這麼多人氣了, 建議來看此版的酒友,

認同 Kenny大看法的, 回個 +1, 不認同的 -1

否則像 Kenny大一年買酒常超過數百萬至千萬, 買到問題酒都還是無法得到有誠意的處理,

何況我們這種小小咖!

問我沒用啦! 可能要去問進口到問題酒的資深大酒商, 到底有沒有去問原廠怎麼一回事 ?

 小侍酒師應該不便再發表任何意見了, 即是原廠有回覆給他!

謝謝大大回應, 不過原則上一人一票比較公平 !
