English to Polish Marketing Wine / Oenology / Viticulture

After it suffered a rash of counterfeiting in 1998, Australia's Penfolds Grange, owned by Foster's Group Ltd., invested in security measures, laser-etching the wine's name, vintage year and a five-digit alphanumeric code directly into the bottle's glass. Penfolds has also expanded the number of "recorking clinics," where clients bring unopened bottles to have them tasted for authenticity by Penfolds' chief wine maker, Peter Gago. The checked wines are then recorked, dated and marked with security codes that can be read only under a black light.
