Half an hour later, a tall and burly blue-eyed European-American in a suit hurried to the venue, Qi Haotian strode up to meet him, stretched out his hands, and laughed heartily accompanied by fluent English: "Are you Mr. Robert?" ”

The blue-eyed foreigner stood politely, stretched out his hands, and said in stammering Chinese: "I'm Robert, hello, are you Mr. Haotianqi?"

Qi Haotian replied: "It's me, welcome to come, hard work, please come here with me." ”

Qi Haotian took Robert to the center of the competition venue, and then waved his hand, and a waiter came over with a golden disc on the disc, on which was a bottle of wine in a cloth bag, which is also called a "blind tasting bag".

Qi Haotian said: "Mr. Robert, thank you for your hard work to come here, because the matter is very important, and it involves the reputation of your Romanée Conti wine, so we feel it is necessary to invite you to come over to check the authenticity of this red wine." ”

Robert showed a solemn look, he walked up to the red wine with the cloth bag, paused for a moment, and then politely said to Qi Haotian, "Can I open this cloth bag?"

Qi Haotian made a gesture of please, and Robert slowly untied the rope on the cloth bag and took out a bottle of red wine.

Many spectators stretched their necks and leaned over, and everyone vaguely saw that the familiar wine label was the wine king among the world-class wine kings that everyone is familiar with and fascinated - Romanée Conti.

The world-famous wine critic Robert Parker once said: Romanee Conti is a millionaire's wine, but only a billionaire can drink it.

Often referred to simply as the DRC, Domaine de la Romanée Conti is the most famous winery in the Burgundy region of France, and is a temple in the minds of wine lovers around the world.

Romanée Conti is known as the world's first winery, with an annual production of about 6,000 bottles, and because it is so in short supply, its market sales are subject to a strict quota system.

That is to say, in order to buy the Romanée-Conti wines, you must first go through a strict review and become more than 200 VIP individual customers or more than 100 registered cellar managers registered in the Romanée-Conti winery directory before you can place an order to buy Romanée-Conti wines, and for each bottle of Romanée-Conti wines, you must also buy at least 11 bottles of other Grand Cru wines produced by the winery that are also valuable, which means that you have to spend 11 bottles of Romanée-Conti family's expensive wines in exchange for the right to buy a bottle of real Romanée-Conti Grand Cru wine。

As for what this wine tastes like, not many people know because there are very few people in this world who have the opportunity to drink it.

As for Aubert de Veran, the head of Romanée-Conti, he described Romanée-Conti's taste as follows: "With the faint fragrance of the dying rose, it is unforgettable, and it can be regarded as a treasure left behind by the immortals when they flew back to the sky." ”

At this time, Mr. Robert, the representative of Château Romanée-Conti, took out a series of tools very carefully, including a high-magnification magnifying glass, an infrared detection tool, and a pot-shaped container with many numbers flashing up and down.

He went back and forth on Romanée Conti's bottle, and with Qi Haotian's consent, poured a glass of red wine into the jug-shaped container with flashing numbers.

Soon the container's LCD panel was bouncing with many different numbers.

After nearly half an hour of testing, Mr. Robert's face became more and more solemn, to the point of almost a black face, because he was Caucasian, the black face was particularly obvious, and everyone also felt his unusual expression, and they all felt that something bad was about to happen.

After another ten minutes, Mr. Robert stood up, feeling a little almost collapsed, he faced Mr. Qi Haotian, and said to Qi Haotian very solemnly: "Mr. Qi, I am very sorry to tell you that this bottle of Romanée Conti in 1974 is indeed a bottle of problematic wine. ”

Qi Haotian was shocked and very surprised. He stared into Mr. Robert's eyes and said, "Mr. Robert, I would like you to explain what is called problematic wine." ”

Robert sighed, feeling knocked down, and he said weakly: "Just now, after the test of our winery's special equipment, I found that this bottle of wine does have the ingredients of our 1974 Romanée Conti red wine, but it is also mixed with other new vintage wines, new vintage Romanée Conti wines, so ...... Ordinary people simply can't find out. ”

"This is a very high-tech professional counterfeit wine. ”

Qi Haotian felt like he had heard a myth or legend, he could hardly believe his ears, he turned his head and looked at Luo Fei with incredible eyes, thinking that this young man was too powerful, his blind taste ability was simply superb at the level of a pervert.

After communicating with the representative of Romanée Conti, Qi Haotian learned that this was a very high-level, high-tech counterfeit wine aimed at the wine king Romanée Conti.

The bottles and labels used in this wine are real, they should be recycled bottles, and the counterfeiters bought a small number of old vintages, and then mixed in some new vintages. The more energetic wines, shaken well, and re-encapsulated into a batch of old vintage bottles by pinhole technique, such as mixing 9 bottles of 1984 wine with 1 bottle of 1974 vintage, and then injecting 10 bottles of 1974 vintage, real or false, through this blending method, the result is almost the same as an old wine in a very good state of preservation.

In this way, they were able to sell a batch of new Romanée-Conti wines at the high price of the old vintage.

This is really a highly sophisticated method of fraud. Unless you often have the opportunity to taste an old wine from a particular top vintage, you won't be able to tell the difference.

The question is, the number of top-quality wines is scarce, and the number of top-quality old wines that are aged is even rarer, and how many people have the opportunity to drink this kind of top-quality wines on a regular basis?

Among the few people who often have the opportunity to drink good old wines, how many of them really know how to taste and screen?

So this is what Qi Haotian feels Luo Fei is incredible, as if all these wines, including today's last bottle of counterfeit Romanée Conti red wine, Luo Fei participated in the whole process of brewing and production.

After Qi Haotian's explanation, the representative of Romanée Conti Winery was also amazed by Luo Fei's super blind tasting ability, he gave a thumbs up to Luo Fei, and personally invited Luo Fei to be a guest at Romanée Conti Winery.

At this time, everyone learned that the representative of this Romanée Conti winery turned out to be the youngest son of the owner of the Canti winery.

The onlookers showed envy to Luo Fei, you must know that being invited by a wine-king winery like Romanée Conti is not an honor that everyone has, this is not something that can be achieved by being rich or powerful, and many people do not have such an opportunity in their lives.
