Chinese Government Shuts Down Wineries After Adulterated Wines Exposed
Dec 25, 2010
Hebei Province shut down nearly 30 wineries on Friday after wines made there were exposed on television as not only adulterated, but also falsely labeled.
The local government acted after a state television program on Thursday evening showed that some wines made in the province's Changli County contained just 20 percent fermented grape juice - the rest was sugar water mixed with chemicals, including coloring agents and flavorings.
Hebei Governor Chen Quanguo ordered an investigation later that night at an emergency provincial government meeting, Xinhua news agency reported.
Chen said at the meeting that Changli wine makers whose wine was not up to standard would have their production licenses revoked, and they should recall their products immediately.
