Along with the growth of consumption of good quality imported alcohol increases and the amount of produced counterfeit. Outset,
usually fake contains no poison, on the contrary, there is quite a normal drink, but still very different in taste
and the formulation of the present.




When used need to fear of falsification, mainly allergic reactions that can be triggered by various impurities
and chemical additives. However, to date we do not know a single case of such alcohol poisoning.



Most large-scale production of counterfeit goods is concentrated in Moscow and Voronezh regions and the North Caucasus. Wholesale salesmen especially do not hide the origin of the goods and, as a rule, operate openly.

However, retailers, sellers can hide belonging to counterfeit products. Typically, the cover are the terms "confiscated" and «Duty Free». Here it should be emphasized that the law has the right to sell confiscated only Russian Federal Property Fund, and the purchase of goods at Duty Free are serious limitations in terms of (engine capacity).

In some cases it can distinguish the fake only after the bottle has been opened, and the drink tried. Especially unpleasant if alcohol was presented as a gift to a loved one. Therefore, we decided to publish some of the signs that will distinguish fake still at the stage of purchase, before the transfer of money. We will try to expand this list

Jack Daniel's
Of course, it is best to recognize fake before opening the bottle at the stage of purchase.

There are several signs of forgery:
1. Metal cover - original Jack Daniel's is available only with a plastic lid, covered with plastic shell;
2. Round "shoulders" of the bottle - in 2011. bottles are available in a new design;
3. Smooth "shoulders" - on the "shoulders" of the four sides of the bottle should be embossed inscription «Jack Daniel's»;
4. "Curve" label - the label must be affixed smoothly, and the order of inscriptions on it must correspond to an established pattern.

For illustrative purposes, the image of 'Bottle Jack Daniel's », Rostov bought not so long ago:


In recent years, the spread was fake Jack Daniel's in new bottles. At first glance, a fake is indistinguishable from the original, but still there are a few signs:

1. Lack of an icon «Registered trade-mark» ® on the shell of the bottle neck. On the original whiskey, he must be present;
2. A smooth neck of the bottle. In genuine beverage bottle neck is bound over its entire length.


Tequila Olmeca

Whiskey Jameson
To distinguish a fake should pay attention to the following features:

1. Plastic wrap on the cover - the original Jameson has a metal cover without any shell;
2. No relief inscriptions on the bottle - a real whiskey has two relief inscriptions: «Product of Ireland» - in the lower part of the front of the bottle, and «John Jameson» - at the bottom of the back side.
3. The capacity 0, 7 l - is the most frequently counterfeited amount Jameson. In case of doubt as a beverage, we propose to abandon the purchase of a bottle of whiskey in a given volume. Buy a liter!

And, according to tradition, forgery Photo:


Whisky Johnnie Walker Black Label, Red Label
One of the most counterfeited whiskey is Johnnie Walker Black Label, which, however, is understandable popularity of the original beverage. Given the variety of fakes, pictures will lead immediately.

To distinguish a fake, it is necessary to pay attention to the following features:

1. Cover.


2. The embossing on the label


Whiskey Jim Beam
So, in order to distinguish the fake whiskey Jim Beam until the purchase is necessary to carefully examine the bottle. Particular attention should be paid to the following features:

1. A cover. A real American bourbon Jim Beam upper face of the cover has no edges - it is smooth;
2. The lower part of the lid. The original whiskey has two golden stripes above image brand «Jim Beam»;
3. The neck of the bottle. In real Jim Beam faces are present only on the lower half of the neck, while like forgery faceted neck along the entire length;
4. Shoulders bottle. This whiskey has a relief inscription «Jim Beam» on the shoulders of the bottle on the four sides.

These characteristics affect the picture:


Cognac Hennessy
It is said that the sale of Hennessy cognac in the whole world exceed its production by 3-4 times. This means that only 3-4 each bottle of Hennessy - the original brandy, and the volume of counterfeit reaches 80%.

However, this information is not confirmed. But, most likely, not very far from the truth.

One of the leaders in the number of counterfeit of course, is a Cognac Hennessy XO To distinguish a fake, it is necessary to pay attention to the following features:

1. The volume of 0, 5 liters. Cognac Hennessy XO in containers 0, 5 liters. is performed. The original cognac is bottled only in bottles of 0, 35 and 0, 7 L .;
2. The casing plugs. The original cork and shell are made by special technology (including laser engraving and hologram Holosleeve), very close contact with the glass bottle. The shell should not be too reminiscent of inexpensive wines domestic production.


A very large number of counterfeits account for Hennessy VSOP The lion's share of counterfeit account for cognac, bottled in the shape of the jar, the volume of 0, 5 liters. Therefore, we recommend completely abandon the purchase Hennessy VSOP bottle in this form and volume. It is better to buy an ordinary round bottle.

If no acceptable alternatives there, and the purchase of a bottle of brandy in the jar-is inevitable, then we should pay attention to the following features (which are similar to the symptoms of Hennessy XO):

1. A cover. It should not resemble the usual vodka. Hennessy Cognac house a lot of attention to the production of tubes and their protection, it was discussed above.
2. The relief image of a hand with a halberd. It must be present in the upper part of the front side of the bottle.
