Italy cracks down on wine fraud

Did you know...

That Italy has now taken over from France as the world's biggest exporter of wine.  But this brings problems.  Fraudsters are adding sugar to low grade wine to increase alcohol content as we as substituting cheaper grapes during the wine making process.

The goverment's response is to send 150 officers on a 18 month tasting course to enable them to distinguish the fraudulent wines!
