CAFIA found wine adulterated by water
12/08/2008The Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority revealed wine of Hungarian origin at which laboratory analyses showed addition of water, at least of 52%. The wine in question was found in Kaufland. Namely, it was Rizling vlašský minöségi cuvée bor (dry white wine, batch L080610).
“At the present time, it is absolutely extraordinary detection. Adulteration of wine in such extent is socially very dangerous and naturally, the fine imposed by CAFIA will address this fact“, Jakub Šebesta, CAFIA Director General, said. “This case also confirms that such act is not worth of it. Already for 3 years, CAFIA has unique equipment working on the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance which can reveal adulteration very easily“, Šebesta added.
Besides this, Rizling vlašský also contained 2,7 times higher content of citric acid than permitted. The wine in question was bottled by Hungarian company Velezvin Kft. and in total, 1104 bottles were distributed to Kaufland by company RYWINE s.r.o. from Valtice. However, this batch was bottled both to bottles of 1l and 0,75l as well.
CAFIA banned further sale of this wine and ordered Kaufland to withdraw it from all its shops. In addition to this, CAFIA also notified responsible supervisory body in Hungary of this case.
