A Beijing-based journalist has spotted imitations of Australia’s most famous wines on store shelves in China, as the Chinese Communist Party’s trade ban’s on Aussie products remain in force.
Journalist Patrick Fok spotted the wines on Feb.14 in Hainan. Both knock-off wines utilise the same distinctive red and white label as South Australia’s internationally award-winning Penfolds wine. But the imitations go by the name of ‘Benfords’ and ‘Penfunils’ and declare themselves to be Australian wine.
