According to independent experts, up to 46% of the domestic alcohol market is filled with fake vodka, which is also popularly called "fake". The consequences of using this "infection" are unpredictable: from headache in the morning to disability and death. Therefore, it is very important to be able to distinguish vodka from fake while still in the store. There are a number of signs that make it possible to do this with a high degree of probability, but only laboratory tests can give an absolute result.

Singe vodka Is a cheap alcoholic-vodka surrogate made from low-quality raw materials in clandestine workshops, which criminals are trying to sell under the guise of recognizable vodka brands by forging a label, bottle, excise stamp and other related documents.

It is on the "stick" accounts for 53% of deaths from alcohol poisoning. The production of fake vodka is several times cheaper than the original drink. Criminals, having realized a fake, get fabulous profits. Just one underground workshop brings its owners several million dollars in profit per year.

There is a difference between the concepts of "burned" and "left-handed" vodka. "Levak" is called a batch of high-quality vodka from a distillery, which is not included in the company's reporting. It is cheaper because it is not taxed. But when buying, there is a risk that under the guise of left-handed vodka you may be sold fired. This is done by criminals who are unwilling or unable to forge excise stamps and quality certificates. Without these documents, they cannot hand over their surrogate to the store, therefore they are looking for gullible citizens.

How to identify burned vodka

It will be about checking the appearance of the drink before purchasing it. There are signs that should motivate you to choose another vodka or even a store.

1. Price. If you prefer a certain brand of vodka, then you should know the average price of a bottle. If in one of the stores the price is 15-30% lower, then the risk of buying counterfeit vodka there increases several times. Miracles do not happen, the cost of the same vodka in different stores cannot differ much.

Previously, it was the low price that gave out fake vodka, but now the counterfeiters have grown wiser and in most cases sell their surrogate at the price of the original. Therefore, you need to take into account the accompanying factors.

2. Point of sale. As a general rule of thumb, the smaller the store, the more likely you are to buy fake vodka there. In large supermarkets, you will be given a receipt, which is proof of your purchase. It is easier for a supermarket to make a claim, so they sell fewer "sticks" there, but more and more often they come across there too. At the same time, large stores do not always sell counterfeit products deliberately. More often they buy a high-quality counterfeit with all quality certificates (also fake) from wholesalers.

3. Color. Real vodka is absolutely transparent without turbidity and sediment at the bottom. To check this, just turn the bottle upside down, hold it for a few seconds and look through it at the sunlight. Vodka should not have any foreign particles, orange, light yellow and other shades. If the color changes, then you have poorly purified vodka, alcohol or water of which contains foreign impurities.

4. Cap. The factory bottle has a neat cap that does not scroll or leak. It is better to buy vodka with a ball dispenser, since it is more difficult to counterfeit such a bottle in an underground workshop.

5. Label. Must be glued evenly and all inscriptions are legible. This also applies to the excise stamp. The plant is obliged to indicate its full legal address, the address of production facilities, the composition of the drink and the GOST according to which it is made. This is how new little-known vodka brands are tested. Sometimes a surrogate hides under the guise of a completely new vodka that has just appeared on the market.

In the case of a well-known brand, checking the address and composition will not give anything (with rare exceptions), since counterfeiters simply copy a ready-made label. They can be given only by faded paper with poorly readable letters, on the quality of which they decided to save money.

The spill dates on the label and bottle cap must match. Although it takes a few seconds to check the dates, many people are lazy to do it when buying fake vodka. Not all clandestine workshops control the time of the spill. This is especially true for counterfeiting the cheapest brands.

6. Protection of producers. Realizing that it is difficult for a buyer to distinguish between good and fake vodka, well-known brands develop their own security systems that are difficult to counterfeit. These can be embossed signs, emblems and other quality markers applied to the bottle.

You can find out about the protection of your chosen vodka on the manufacturer's website. At least there you will see what the original looks like, and then compare with the bottles that are on store shelves.

Attention! Compliance with all the criteria does not guarantee 100% protection against counterfeiting. Burned vodka has a pungent unpleasant odor. It is better to throw away an accidentally purchased fake than risk your health and even your life.

Alcoholic products, along with such consumer goods as tobacco and gasoline, are subject to excise duty - a special type of tax. With the help of excise tax, the state can regulate prices, sales volumes and product quality, which is especially important in relation to alcohol.

In the light of recent events related to mass poisoning of the population, quality control of alcoholic beverages is an important direction of the country's policy. What consumer protection mechanisms are currently in place, from what date are sellers checked and what rules for the sale of alcoholic products are mandatory for the alcohol-containing products market?

Excise value

According to the Tax Code, namely Chapter 22 "Excise", alcohol is recognized as an excisable product, which significantly affects the pricing in this direction.

Because this type of tax is included in the final cost of the products sold, changes in the value of the excise tax are primarily felt by the final consumer.

Ethyl alcohol, according to a special list, refers to excisable goods, which obliges to include the excise tax in the price of the following products:

• alcohols (anhydrous ethyl, food, nonfood, denatured);
• distillates (whiskey, calvados, fruit, wine, grape, cognac);
• guilt;
• liqueurs;
• cognacs;
• vodka;
• beer.

The rate of excise duty on alcohol increases annually, which is reflected in article 193 of the Tax Code. So, for example, since 2107, the rates for alcoholic beverages (ruble per liter) are as follows:

According to the current legislation, any alcoholic product, except for beer and its derivatives, must contain an excise stamp on its packaging. Excise stamps can be obtained by organizations that have permits for the production or sale of alcohol-containing products. In addition, the organization must be able to report on documents for the consignment of excisable goods.

In addition to the very fact of the designation of alcoholic beverages, as well as the fact that the product meets the current quality and safety standards, the excise stamp carries very important information about the product:

• manufacturer country;
• title;
• the proportion of the content of ethyl alcohol;
• package volume.

Legislation in 2019

In 2019, alcohol trade should be carried out by persons connected to the Unified State Automated Information System (EGAIS).

This system allows you to collect information on each unit of alcohol sold, ranging from its composition, strength and volume, ending with the country of origin, as well as the date and place of sale.

In the future, EGAIS should become a universal tool for detecting counterfeits and keeping records of all alcoholic beverages in the country. Connecting to a single system supplements and in no way replaces compulsory licensing... Both producers and sellers of alcohol-containing products are subject to licensing.

License

The state organization that controls the turnover of alcoholic beverages, as well as performs the functions of a licensing body, is the Federal Service for the Regulation of Alcoholic Products.

A person who produces or sells alcoholic beverages is obliged to apply with an application and the corresponding package of documents to the territorial office of FSRAR for timely receipt.

In addition to filing an application, manufacturers and sellers must pay a state fee, which, depending on the applicant, is equal to:

Retail

Changes in the retail trade of alcoholic beverages associated with the Unified State Automated Information System (EGAIS) allowed the state to significantly increase budget revenues in just six months. Due to the forced legalization of some manufacturers and sellers, the volume of manufactured products increased by 30%. As for the increase in payments to the federal treasury, they amounted to about 120 billion rubles in six months, which is almost 20% more than in the previous year.

Changes in the retail trade in alcohol dictate their requirements already at the stage of purchasing products from suppliers. For alcohol to appear on the counter. it is necessary to match the data on the products of both parties to the transaction. If the unified system, after verification, confirms the fact of delivery, then alcohol can be sold; otherwise, information about the discrepancy in information is reflected in the EGAIS.

When selling alcohol to the end consumer, the seller is obliged to conduct a transaction through EGAIS. Only after reading the information about the product, the system allows the sale and issues the buyer a check with a barcode confirming the quality of the product.

Bottling

Persons selling alcoholic beverages for bottling are also required to join the unified system. In addition to this requirement, sellers must adhere to the following rules:

• only stationary premises, with the exception of temporary catering establishments, should act as points of sale of draft alcoholic beverages;
• the point of sale should be located away from educational, medical and cultural institutions;
• the point of sale should not be located at gas stations, train stations, markets and other places of mass gathering of people;
• people can buy alcohol at least 18 years old, in the period 10.00 - 22.00.

It should be noted that the sale of draft beer, cider, mead, etc. can be carried out by individual entrepreneurs without a license, which cannot be said about the sale of strong draft drinks.

How to tell a fake product

Despite the fact that excise stamps are made using various security technologies, bootleggers manage to successfully forge them. At first glance, such brands do not differ from real ones and do not raise any doubts. However, having examined the container more closely, and also having several recommendations at your disposal, you can easily distinguish a fake from a quality product.

Visual inspection

First of all, you should carefully examine the container of an alcoholic product - often this is enough to recognize a counterfeit:

1. If, when you touch the excise stamp, paint smears on it, leaving marks on your hand, you should definitely be on your guard.
2. The stamps are made at Goznak, so their type must be appropriate.

Scanner check

In many large retail chains and specialty stores of alcoholic beverages, you can see the so-called scanners - devices that read a barcode, displaying product information on the screen. Such a check can allow you to check the quality of the selected alcohol without going to the checkout.

Sizes of valid brands

1. Excise stamps have established dimensions: 9cmx2.6cm and 6.2cmx2.1cm... If there are brands of excellent sizes on the packaging of alcohol, then most likely the products do not correspond to the declared quality.
2. In addition, it is worth paying attention to how firmly the stamp is held, as well as whether there are any uneven and crumpled edges on it.

Check and barcode

When buying alcohol in a store connected to the EGAIS, the buyer is provided with a special receipt with a QR code. By scanning the code or by clicking on the link below it, you can go to the FTS website, where you will find detailed information about the product, its seller and manufacturer.

Among other things, the brand should have the following signs:

• luminescent inscription "alcoholic beverages";
• microtext negative / positive "brand / FSM";
• a hologram in the form of a rhombus, inside which is the inscription "RF";
• fibers like those used for banknotes.

Sample

In order to easily distinguish a fake excise stamp from a real one, you need to carefully consider a known high-quality bottle of alcohol and pay attention to the signs mentioned above. Since a good counterfeit is expensive, it is unlikely that all the security features will be present on such an excise stamp. For clarity, it makes sense to place real and fake products side by side.

Checking alcohol on the excise stamp online

The Federal Service for the Regulation of Alcoholic Products launched the Internet service "Check Marks", which allows you to compare by the number from the excise stamp whether the information in the Unified State Automated Information System (EGAIS) matches the information that is actually available. In addition, some manufacturers of alcoholic beverages offer connoisseurs of their brands to check the quality of the drinks they buy using their unique services.

Video: Checking the excise stamp

For alcohol. It is applied to protect goods of proven quality. Clandestine manufacturers often counterfeit decals, leading to poisoning. The authenticity of the label guarantees the safety of drinking in moderation.

Purpose of certified marks

To protect citizens from, special stickers are made. They have several degrees of protection:

• high quality paper;
• decals;
• barcode verifiable online;
• reflective sticker that shimmers in the light.

The use of expensive equipment in the manufacture of high-quality stickers allows achieving the main goal - the ineffectiveness of forging excise taxes. It is unprofitable for clandestine manufacturers to engage in the production of original signs - they will have to fork out for this. Therefore, on store shelves is certified in accordance with established standards.

People attach little importance to the external signs of clandestine products, consuming poisonous mixtures. But for the safety of the health of loved ones and guests, you need to know how to check the excise stamp for alcohol. There are two ways to establish the quality of alcoholic beverages:

• visual;
• by number: scanner or on the Internet.

How to visually distinguish an original from a fake?

You can check the authenticity of alcohol on the excise stamp by familiarizing yourself with the main features of the original sticker:

• the edges of the label are even, the pattern is without streaks;
• on the reverse side there is a luminescent inscription "Alcoholic products";
• with a magnifying glass, you can see the words "brand" and "FSM", the colors of the inscriptions are depicted inversely;
• there is a holographic sticker on the excise tax;
• there are two blue squares glowing under the fluorescent lamp.

The question of how to check the excise stamp for alcohol is neglected. People believe that counterfeit is purer in composition than the original drink. However, official statistics cite cases of severe poisoning, when people die during holiday feasts. Unknown substances in the base cause liver damage, loss of visual acuity, hearing.

Additional verification methods

You can check the excise stamp for alcohol by number right in the store by driving the number into the smartphone browser. For such purposes, the official website —service.fsrar.ru is intended. There are applications for the Android system that offer to scan a barcode using a camera.

An employee of the relevant department in the supermarket will tell you how to check the excise stamp for alcohol. It can scan the barcode of the label and display the information on the display of the device. But this method does not always become a reliable sign of the quality of alcohol. It is required to take into account all the degrees of protection listed in the article.

No questionable shops and supernumerary stalls. Buy alcohol from retail chains that monitor reputation and carefully select suppliers. Roughly speaking, if there are expired goods on the shelves in the supermarket, then alcohol should be chosen there with particular pickiness.

When buying alcohol, you should always be given a check, and ideally, ask for a passport, even if you have not looked like a schoolboy for a long time.

Price

A very good thing is not cheap. If you are offered an aged French cognac for 800 rubles, there is something wrong. If you want to buy an expensive one, first look at how much it costs, compare prices on the Internet, do not run for a good price.

It is not interesting to counterfeit absolutely cheap alcohol of unremarked brands, it is more likely that it will initially be of poor quality. So grab good drinks after checking the authenticity.

Bottle

Branded alcohol is poured into special bottles with an unusual shape, edges on the neck, and embossed inscriptions. If you want to buy alcohol of a specific well-known brand, try to find the manufacturer's website and evaluate how the bottle differs from any other.

Pay attention to:

• Cover material. Made of plastic, metal or cork, whether the lid is wrapped or not, flat or embossed, flat or convex. The lid of good alcohol does not scroll, does not flow. On the lids of vodka bottles there is a number by which the bottle can be checked for authenticity on the manufacturer's website.
• Neck shape. Long or short, with or without edges. A dispenser bottle is a sign that it was made in a factory and not underground.
• Bottle shape. Pay attention to the curves, bottle shoulders, bottom contours.
• Embossed inscriptions and images. On expensive alcohol, there are often inscriptions with the name of the drink, symbols of a trading house, and other designations. On fakes, these inscriptions either do not repeat at all, or they do not reproduce everything, or they confuse the place of application.

Excise stamp

The excise stamp is printed on special paper with colored fibers, all numbers and codes on it are clear, clearly visible and legible. The stamp must be glued absolutely evenly.

Excise stamps should be checked by organizations that have a license to trade in alcohol. For you and me, there is a service of the Unified Social Portal of the alcohol market.

Enter the numbers from the excise stamp and check if the brand matches the product. The service works in test mode, that is, apparently, its data does not always correspond to reality. However, we have tested five bottles produced and purchased in different locations, and they all passed the test.

Label

A quality alcohol label is made on good paper, often with embossed or intricate elements.

If you are looking for a specific brand, compare the order in which the information should appear on the label. On branded products, all labels repeat the pattern, and product names are accompanied by a registered trademark icon.

Be sure to indicate the address of the manufacturer (legal and place of production), composition, there must be references to regulatory documents.

Bottle contents

This can help if you are buying alcohol in a clear glass bottle and you know what the desired drink looks like.

• Cognac, if you turn the bottle over, leaves oily streaks on the glass. They are called cognac legs.
• Good whiskey behaves the same way. It must be remembered that whiskey is a transparent drink, there should be no sediment and flakes there.
• Vodka - only clear, no sediment.

But by the appearance of the drink, one can distinguish only a completely artisanal fake.

Here we are talking only about fakes, and sometimes there is also just low-quality alcohol, for example, wine made from a mixture of alcohol with dyes and flavors. Only reading the label with the composition will help here, an indication of the GOSTs according to which the alcohol is made. And your feelings. If you have opened a bottle and it seems to you that something is wrong, do not finish drinking and do not check. It is better to lose money than health.

The Most Effective Way to Protect Against Bad Alcohol

They know how to counterfeit everything, including excise stamps. Therefore, the most effective way to protect yourself from bad alcohol is to choose the place of purchase and alcohol, which you can check on the manufacturer's website.

How to recognize methyl alcohol

No way. Although there are recipes for determining methanol.

Dip a heated copper wire into alcohol, for example. When methanol reacts with copper, it will release formaldehyde, and you will smell a pungent smell. Ethanol doesn't behave like that. But ethanol will smell too, albeit not so disgusting. There is also an option with the ignition of alcohol and the identification of the shade of the flame (methanol burns greenish).

These methods work when you are comparing two pure spirits. And methanol can be added to alcohol in different proportions, diluted and mixed with dyes, flavors and ethanol.

Symptoms of methyl alcohol poisoning

At first, methanol poisoning does not differ from alcohol poisoning: dizziness, nausea, headache. Then there are warning signs:

• Pain throughout the body.
• Loss of vision.
• Dyspnea.
• Cardiopalmus.

What to do to avoid methanol poisoning

1. Drink only alcohol from trusted places and only high quality.
2. Never get drunk to such a state that you miss the first signs of poisoning, that is, until you lose the ground under your feet and nausea.
3. In case of symptoms of poisoning, urgently call an ambulance and get to the doctors.
4. Before the arrival of doctors, provide first aid for.

Although regular ethanol can help inhibit industrial alcohol poisoning, do not self-medicate with alcohol.

The excise stamp of the product indicates that this product has passed the GOST test and fully complies with the declared quality. Stamps have various types of protection, for the creation of which special technologies and materials are used.

It is quite difficult and costly to counterfeit all degrees of protection from a financial point of view, so those involved in clandestine production often reproduce only certain levels of protection. So if some security feature is missing or does not meet the standard, this indicates a fake.

Large retail outlets should have a special scanner that helps to identify the authenticity of excise stamps. To use this service, you should contact the administrator with a request to provide an opportunity to check the products. If the scanner has confirmed the discrepancy - the excise stamp is forged; if no differences are found, this, unfortunately, is not a 100% guarantee of authenticity.

If the scanner showed that the brand is genuine, but doubts persist, you can contact the "Forensic Science Center" for a forensic examination.

If you check the brand yourself, without a scanner, your task is to find the differences between this and the genuine brand. The type of brand and its details are checked for compliance. It is important to understand that the fresher the brand, the higher the reliability of the visual check. During long-term storage, it is subject to abrasion and moisture. It is also important what material the brand is glued to. In any case, suspicions can be raised by:

• uneven, crooked edges;
• quick-release paint when wiped with a fingernail.

Detailed instructions for checking excise stamps for alcohol have been developed by the Federal Service for the Regulation of the Alcohol Market. The color of excise stamps depends on the type of product and can vary from pink-lilac to green-blue-yellow. The paper for stamps is self-adhesive, without luminescence. Security fibers are of two types: red, non-luminescent and yellow-red, luminescent.

On the reverse side, "RF" is printed in brown ink and there is a luminescent inscription "Alcoholic products". When processing paper with the indicator "Ts-2", a yellow coloration will appear.

There is microtext at the top of the stamp. The word "brand" is written in the negative, and "FSM" - in the positive.

The hologram is a complex pattern, in the center of which the inscription "RF" is located in rhombuses.

The inscription "Federal Special Stamp" is gradually changing from negative to positive (a special raster is used for this).

At the bottom of the stamp there is an inscription "RF", the color of which changes from dark bronze to purple. Other methods of protection are also provided. On the website of the FS for Alcohol Market Regulation, you can check the authenticity of the brand online.

Separate excise stamps are produced for tobacco products. Detailed requirements for excise taxes on imported goods in the Russian Federation can be found here.

Without exception, all alcoholic beverages that are imported into the territory of the Russian Federation must contain an excise stamp, the purpose of which is alcohol labeling.

In fact, there is no need to decipher the excise tax, since all the necessary information on the stamp is indicated in Russian and are quite clear. For example, the excise stamp of alcoholic beverages may contain information - "Alcoholic product from 9 to 256%" or "Alcoholic product from 25%", "Wine", "Sparkling wine" and so on.

By and large, the EGAIS system is a tool for careful control over the turnover of alcoholic beverages in the territory of the Russian Federation.

The main task of the system is to try to substantially reduce the turnover of counterfeit alcohol throughout the country... Moreover, each company that manufactures or sells alcohol-containing goods must enter detailed information about it in the system.

If the information is not indicated in the system, companies face criminal and administrative liability in the form huge penalties... According to the developers themselves, the introduction of such a system made it possible to reduce the volume of sales of counterfeit goods. at least 40%, which already speaks of the positive results of the work of the EGAIS.

Basic moments

Every year, a huge amount of contraband alcoholic beverages is discovered on the territory of Russia, the use of which can cause irreparable harm to health.

To eliminate the likelihood of falling on low-quality products, you can use various methods of checking the excise stamp for authenticity.

It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the background theory and regulations before exploring the core issue.

What it is

By and large, there is no need to decipher the excise tax, since all the necessary key data on the stamp are indicated in Russian.

For example, the following information may be indicated on the excise stamp of alcohol:

• “Alcoholic product from 10 to 40%”;
• “Alcoholic product from 20%”;
• “Wine” or “Sparkling wine (popularly referred to as Champagne)”;
  etc.

The types of brands are divided depending on the strength of the drink. The “excise stamp” means fiscal documentation that provides an opportunity to legally confirm the payment of the fee for the sale of a specific type of product in Russia.

On those excise stamps that contain the name “Alcoholic product from 25%”, additional data are indicated that can display the maximum container used for alcohol from this category.

It is located right next to the excise number. The inscription can be one of the following types:

• “No more than 100 grams”;
• “No more than 0.5 liters”;
• "Up to 1 liter";
• “More than 1 liter”.

The excise stamp, which is directly used for alcoholic goods with the lowest alcohol values, may not contain data on the maximum container volume.

The presence of such information indicates the registration of an alcoholic product and payment in full by the manufacturer or distributor of all fees established by law.

Penalties for counterfeiting

In accordance with Federal Law No. 171, responsibility for the reliable application and authenticity of stamps is borne by persons who are engaged not only in the manufacture of alcoholic goods, but also:

• supplies;
• import;
• retail sales.

The procedure for the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages without appropriate labeling or with obvious violations of the norms of Russian legislation entails liability on the basis of Art. 15.12 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.

Criminal liability is provided for in accordance with Article 171.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in the event of:

• acquisitions;
• manufacturing;
• possible storage;
• transportation and sale of goods without appropriate labeling.

Criminal liability in accordance with Article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation also occurs due to:

• production;
• forgery and sale of falsified documentation, stamps, forms.

Responsibility can carry an impressive fine or imprisonment.

Applicable standards

The main regulatory document is rightfully considered to be Federal Law No. 171, which contains a list of persons directly responsible for applying authentic and genuine excise stamps.

Liability for the use of falsified excise stamps is regulated by:

The specified list is not exhaustive, but at the same time it includes basic data on the issue of prosecution in case of using falsified excise stamps.

Self Authentication

Exercise vigilance

In this case, we are talking about a careful study of the description of alcohol on the bottle and the removal of some important features.

How to independently distinguish a fake

1. Mindfulness

Remember the children's game "Find the Difference". Taking a bottle with an alcoholic drink in your hands in a supermarket is just time to remember your observation and see if all the degrees of protection are on the sticker that holds the container and lid together.

Counterfeiting of any means of protection is a costly business, which is why often attention is paid to the simplest points on excise forms, and complex levels are ignored. 4 nuances worth paying attention to:

• Inkjet stamp number;
• Barcode;
• Foil holographic image;
• Data on the manufacturing plant, security level, release date.

2. Scan

If you buy alcohol not in a stall, but in a market that respects its reputation, there must be a special scanner here. He may be waiting for you at the reception. It is enough to scan the excise stamp for the electronics to check all compliance levels. Although, according to experts, even with such a check, you will not be given 100% guarantees.

3. Measure seven times

Each excise sticker has its own size. For alcoholic beverages, it is installed in two versions: 90x26 and 62x21. If the dimensions do not correspond to those indicated, have uneven or wrinkled edges, you should be wary.

Another nuance is that on a large brand, the upper part is separated from the larger lower golden thread. It is not erased, does not smudge, if necessary, you can pull it out of the paper.

4. Little tricks

Surrogate alcohol should have a low cost, so spending money on counterfeiting protection is not in the interests of bootleggers. In order to make it easier for the consumer to bring the falsified product to clean water, small fragments, imperceptible at first glance, were invented on protective parcels (stamps).

Knowing about them, it will not be difficult to determine the original. Such imperceptible signs of originality include:

• At the top of the text, the word "brand" is spelled out in the negative band, and "FMS" in the positive;
• The hologram rhombuses contain a pattern with the "RF" logo woven into it in the central part;
• The strip with the inscription "Federal Special Stamp" gradually changing its color, goes from negative to positive;
• The excise paper itself is made in the form of self-adhesive and has no luminescence;
• Fibers are scattered over the entire surface, they may be non-luminescent red or luminescent yellow-red.

Checking over the Internet

There are several ways to check alcohol protection online.

Last chance

There is another one hundred percent check option, but relatives or police authorities will rather use it in case of death or alcohol poisoning. This is a forensic examination conducted by the Forensic Center.

Here the liquid will be decomposed into components and molecules and it will be found out whether it corresponds to the high name of an ethyl-containing potion or is a fake. Excise tax will also be studied here. Probably, they will even determine on what equipment it was printed. Only these measures will already be a reaction to an event that we are planning to prevent.

Conclusion

Knowing about the levels of protection of alcoholic beverages and how to check their originality, of course, gives you additional guarantees when buying, but does not insure at all against a skillful expensive counterfeit. After all, the stereotype that a surrogate is made only in the form of fired vodka has long outlived its usefulness and in our reality, elite, expensive alcohol is of greater interest.

Now you are armed with the necessary knowledge and your chances of running into a fake are less. Still, I strongly advise you to read the article on methyl alcohol poisoning. This is a very terrible poison, the adoption of which, in most cases, leads to blindness and even to of death... In case of methyl poisoning, it goes on for hours and in order to take the necessary measures, it is extremely important to have the necessary information.

This is where I end. I would like to advise you to buy alcohol only in specialized stores and still pay attention to the excise tax, because it is printed for us! Subscribe to my blog updates, share interesting facts on social networks, and get fresh and reliable information first-hand!

Until next time, Dorofeev Pavel.
