Fake wine spottings are on the rise around the world, with the latest incident striking an area east of London in the UK. But a keen eye and a little sober investigation can save consumers from being duped under the table. Wine lovers in a borough northeast of the city have been warned to beware of a scam involving counterfeit bottles of Jacob's Creek. Police seized 340 bottles of the fake Australian chardonnay from 19 retailers in the area last month.
