Reacting to wine fraud

(JancisRobinson) - When the FBI arrest someone for wine fraud, you know this crime has moved into the mainstream. Rumours about the young, apparently Indonesian wine enthusiast apparently called Rudy Kurniawan (though he used several aliases) had been flying around the US wine community for some time, but in early March it still came as a shock when his house in southern California was raided, he was arrested and photographs of his counterfeiting equipment (including fat wads of labels of Châteaux Pétrus, Lafleur and Lafite in a desk drawer) were circulated.
