Even relatively small instances of food and beverage fraud can have big consequences, all the way down to retailers. A UK supermarket lost its alcohol license after several bottles of a well-known Australian wine brand turned out to be fake, which was confirmed by the wine producer. The license holder did not assist in finding the reason why the counterfeit bottles showed up at the store, blaming the incident on the employees instead.
