There was a great article in the New Yorker a few years back about wine fraud, specifically about the Thomas Jefferson bottles.

This sort of faking isn't going to be done by a celebrity chef--it's done by wine brokers who claim to have "discovered this bottle in a forgotten chateau cellar."

also the story became a book: "The Billionaire's Vinegar: The Mystery of the World's Most Expensive Bottle of Wine "

C'est incroyable !
