Ikejime – Animal Welfare In The Kitchen
By Darinee Durai
Singapore recently handed over 77,850 counterfeit empty bottles as well as 18 boxes of bottle caps and 10 boxes of labels to Diageo North America for destruction. The counterfeit items all bore the well-known Smirnoff label and were destined for neighbouring countries where it is believed they would have been used for illegal bottling and sale. This is another step in the fight against counterfeiting in the wine and spirits industry, which has seen a sharp increase in demand for famous labels due to the increasing affluence of Asia, especially China.
