Good, keeps pricing pressure off the real stuff.
I was in the Hanoi International Airport ~5 years ago and literally everything wine and booze related was fake. Fortunately, the fakes were so bad it was more comical than tempting (terrible prices helped too).

How was the 1942 vintage in China? Anyone have a vintage chart?

When I lived in Beijing 30 years ago, every Western brand available was fake. There were whole markets where this was the case (the Silk Market, for example)

When I lived in Shanghai 10 years ago, nothing much had changed except that the Silk Market got changed for T-mall and Alibaba…
Weird, when I was at the silk market the nice ladies would use a lighter to prove the Louis Vuitton leather bags were real
A bunch of 93+ scores here in France and Spain:

I give these guys credit for a sense of humor!
This reminds me of George Duboeuf’s old Bojo labels:
Admit to being curious to what’s actually in the bottles.

Actually, yours’ should be 100% authentic; unless, of course, Pompaddy was in turn counterfeited. 
Saw this on Reddit earlier this week as well.
Part of me is really curious about what’s actually inside the bottle and if it is even drinkable.
Their focus is not quality if my past experience is any indication

I posted a TN a while back from one of these Chinese renditions. Sufficient to say, they are not wine but flavored alcoholic juice.
