Yes, it is true. The more reputable and mid to upmarket wine houses are preparing to combat "knock offs" by the Chinese. And it applies to Australian wines as well, not just the exclusive French wine.
It is a bit of an organised racket, according to some recent articles.

So, if visiting China, or some other Asian countries, be careful you or the reseller are not being ripped off......big time.
I enjoy a drop of some of the better red wines, at least in Australia. I wonder if this stuff is also coming to Australia. Afterall, some fake designer handbags, electronics and other goods have done so.
You are warned!
