Perhaps this is why I am buying less and less at auction, and now only when I can go and have a look at the bottles. Trust arrives on foot and leaves on horseback as those canny Belgians say.

Anyway, here is the link to the wine berserkers thread;

Very interesting stuff Andy, and I thank you for it.
Now that Port is getting more expensive, especially the older stuff, it was bound to start happening. The really hard part, as we all know, is that there is so much bottle variations from different bottlers that it becomes really hard to tell whats real and what's not.
