The 23-year-old, who has not been named, was caught last month in a Leclerc supermarket in Trélisssac, Dordogne, having changed barcodes, replacing the indicated price of about €2,300 per bottle with €2.50 labels, according to Agence France Presse.
But for every person caught, many more get away with such label switching, French supermarket executives told Decanter.com.
‘This is a real problem,’ David Bruguiere, wine buyer for Leclerc said.
