Read this article previously.  Fakes are everywhere and apparently been around decades.  Counterfeiting booze is as old as booze itself.  Anyone buying on the secondary should be very wary.

This is a strong contender for the worst news article ever written. Nothing less from fox...

 

Do you guys happen to know the reasons behind the suspicion? Who are the experts, how did they figure out it might be a fake by reading a Chinese dude's social media posts? Or was the discovery completely unrelated, since apparently the hotel was notified separately? Any news-worthy information at all?
