And maybe not even by tasting. The point is that unless you have some kind of chemical expertise you will be unable to tell exactly what this stuff actually is. In any case, if the label is falsified, what you are buying is not what you think it is. That is misrepresentation, and as he is taking money for it, that is fraud.
But how do you know what it is? I don't, and never claimed I did.
It was a rhetorical question.
I'm not arguing that it's not fraud. My point is simply whether it's "fake vodka" or not. The article doesn't do much to clarify that.
If I buy Miller Lite beer and put it into Heineken bottles and sell it, it's fraud, but it's not "fake beer".
