The Taichung District Prosecutors Office received a report claiming that Daisan Liquor Corporation might produce faked red wine, rice wine, and whiskey.

According to the Chinese-language Apple Daily, Daisan’s liquor products have been sold at retail outlets like small-size supermarkets and grocery stores in the Taichung and Changhua areas.

After weeks of collecting evidence, the investigators found that Daisan has added flavoring and a small amount of sugar into alcohol but claimed it as a genuine red wine. No substance of grape or fruit was detected in samples as claimed.     [FULL  STORY]
