Without anti-counterfeiting and no packaging, it cannot be said that it is definitely fake. In order to save costs, Chivas Regal does have batches without paper packaging, specifically for nightclubs. But if there is no anti-counterfeiting, no packaging and no QR code for wine, there will definitely be a big problem.
Let’s talk about the source of Chivas Regal in more detail. No matter how many products are available online, there are probably only 4 types of products that can’t be escaped.
1. Licensed, Chivas Regal is sold globally by Pernod Ricard. If the back label is not Pernod Ricard (China) Wine Co., Ltd., then you should be careful. Licensed products must have a QR code on the cap and body of the bottle, which can be scanned to obtain information. After scanning the QR code on the bottle, 70% of the wine is fine.
2. The leakage of goods is reflected in the fact that the QR code on the bottle mouth has been artificially torn. This part of the wine is real wine, the bottle cap has been replaced, and the plastic sealing is not done well. This leads to a problem: if it is exposed to air for a long time, it cannot be drunk. Not much to say, the water is deep.
3. Parallel goods, use the interest rate difference and the difference in selling prices in the international market to declare it yourself. Those that are not declared are smuggled goods, labeled with Vietnam, Malaysia, and various Southeast Asian countries. These parts are fake. Lots of wine too. I also imported a container in parallel and got all the health inspection and customs clearance for that batch. However, when the goods of this one container arrived at the warehouse, it became six containers, and then they were shipped to multiple places. The local industry and commerce could not find multiple containers at one place. For a container of goods, no problem can be found. I don't know where the other five cabinets came from.
4. Purely fake wine, the packaging is exactly the same, or it is made from genuine bottles directly recycled from nightclubs. You will know after drinking it.
Most of the ones bought online are in case 2. In short, Chivas Regal 12 years old is too deep. For online shopping, you can go to the Pernod Ricard flagship store on Tmall. There is no need to save so much on something that costs 200 yuan.
