Two manufacturers must recall thousands of litres of falsely labelled wine

The state body for foods inspection has forced two Czech wine producers to recall hundreds of thousands of litres of wine after the companies were unable to prove the origin of the grapes used. Inspectors found that České vinařské závody and Vinium Velké Pavlovice had used over a million kilos of grapes that were of unknown origin but used in products labelled as domestic wine. The Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority said that it intends to thoroughly inspect other wine producers for violations they say are damaging both to consumers and honest domestic wine growers.
