With the coming of winter, wine has entered the peak drinking season. A glass of wine every day can not only maintain beauty and health, but also adjust your mood and bring you a good mood. However, there are many wine-producing countries in the world. Although counterfeiting has been cracked down many times, some unscrupulous businessmen still sell counterfeit imported wines in China to seek illegitimate interests. How to identify whether it is counterfeit imported wine? A very simple way is to carefully check the bar code on the label of imported wine bottles. From the bar code of each product, you can see the country of production, manufacturer, commodity name and so on. Steps/Methods Take the barcode 842 722 10 2222 2 as an example. This bar code is divided into four parts, from left to right: 1-3 digits: * * * * 3 digits, corresponding to 842 of the bar code, which is the national code of Spain and internationally used; 4-8 digits: * * * 5 digits, corresponding to barcode 722 10, representing the manufacturer's code, which is applied by the manufacturer and allocated by the state; 9- 12 digits: * * * 4 digits, corresponding to 2222 digits of bar code, representing the commodity code in the factory, determined by the manufacturer; 13 bit: * * *1,corresponding to 2 of the barcode, is a check code, which is calculated by the previous 12 bit according to a certain algorithm. Common imported wine barcode country code South Africa 600-60 1 Spain 840-849 France 300-379 Portugal 560 Australia 930-939 Austria 900-9 19 Chinese mainland 690-692 Chile 780 New Zealand 94 Romania 594 Italy 80-83 Hong Kong 489 Argentina 779 Greece 520 Germany 4. 00-440 USA Canada 00-09 Singapore 888 Notes According to the regulations of the National Measures for the Administration of Imported Food, imported wines must have Chinese labels. What are the requirements for Chinese labels? When the importer labels in Chinese, it does not cover the bar code of the winery and does not need to print the bar code of the importer; When the importer affixes the Chinese label and covers the bar code of the winery, the importer's bar code must be printed on the Chinese label, or the bar code of the original winery must be used under the authorization of the original winery. If the importer applies to the customs for the bar code of imported wine, the bar code marked on this bottle of imported wine begins with "69", not the bar code of the country of origin. Everyone gets a bottle of imported wine. If the bar code on the Chinese label starts with "69" and you have not applied to the customs for the bar code of imported wine, but you are still selling it under the banner of imported wine, please pay attention. This so-called imported wine is probably fake! Of course, bar code is not the only criterion to test the authenticity of wine, and there are many wines with a long history and low output abroad, so wineries will not apply for bar code.
