The younger vintner, according to his lawyer, was “careful” with it: half a liter of glycerine for 1000 liters of wine. The mini-scandal was exposed during a routine inspection. “Gylcerin makes the wine supple, it pretends more than is there,” said the expert. 284 customers were damaged, 25,000 bottles of wine were destroyed. The verdicts: 16 months conditionally for the winemaker, 3600 euros for the older “advisor”.
