What??? Impostor wine?!?

They better not try it with beer, or I will be seriously ticked off!

I posted this same story on FB and you have to wonder if it happened in France, where else did it happen? I'm sure you all have heard what happened in Italy with olive oil?

I might have been distracted by Alizee, but I did not hear anything about any olive oil fraud. I just looked it up and did some reading on the topic. The Forbes article claims 50% of olive oils are mislabeled. I don't think even Don Corleone would stand for this!
