Fake bottles of Port
Fake bottles of Port
I am seeing more fake bottles being offered recently both at auction and offered privately.

Re: Fake bottles of Port
Sworders have some mixed lots coming up soon - lots which I am sure I looked closely at last auction and decided not to bid for, despite the purported age of the bottles.
Top Ports in 2018 (so far): Niepoort VV (1960's Bottling), Quinta do Noval Nacional 1994 and San Leonardo Very Old White (Bottled 2018)
2017 Ports of the year: Fonseca 1927 and Quinta do Noval 1927

Re: Fake bottles of Port
Thanks for the heads-up Tony; are you ok with me adding those images to my known and believe fakes page?
The only old lot I can see there is a single lot comprising T24 and T48, so am assuming that might be the one you're referring to. Looking at the high-res image of those bottles, the T24 either has a replacement label (or is a very poor fake), and the T48 looks potentially genuine; however they both have poor levels - the T24 being VERY low - which also makes me think it less likely they are faked, as well as not being worth bidding for.
