My favourite wine story is decades ago the wine snobs were having competitions in France and it turned out the winners were fakes in some way. I forget how it went, but it was all very embarrassing for the wine snob industry. It must have been the early 1970s because I think I read about it in English newpapers.

Sure, there are good wines and bad wines. When it gets up to the esoteric levels, there is obviously some subjective nonsense in it. Testing it for acetic acid is no doubt a good idea. Vinegar isn't pleasant to drink, though it's good on fish and chips, so it must have something going for it. Maybe a hint makes a wine better.

Ethylene glycol and other sweeteners are nasty things to include. It has been done. I like the USA system where miscreants can be sued for their back teeth. Females mature younger and get back teeth sooner, so they have to be especially careful, which is perhaps why women are generally better behaved than men.

I wonder why the expression 'suing for back teeth' arose. Google probably knows.
