How to spot fake alcohol?
Spotting fake alcohol can be challenging compared to other products. But it is not impossible. There are a few steps you can follow to identify them.
But before you learn the pointers to identify fakes, you should always keep one thing in mind.
- Always buy from reputable, authorised sellers! That will save you from a ton of trouble.
- Check the branding and manufacturer information. If the brand name is unfamiliar to you or feels suspicious it probably is.
- Verify the product with an official image on the Internet. No better way to authenticate the product than by comparing it with an original image.
- Smell the product. If you find the smell really bad or have a tint of nail polish remover, it is fake!
- If you are buying vodka, ensure it is crystal clear. Vodka is one of the most counterfeited alcohol. An original one is supposed to be clear, if it is not, it is a fake.
- Make sure the seal is intact. If the seal or certification is broken or missing, the product has been tampered with and make sure to stay as far away from it.
