long live the sparkling
wine long live the sparkling wine in The
Shining glasses so sings to redo in
cavala Rusticana so it was appreciated
once again at V Italy 2024 the very
important wine Fair held every year in
my city to protect the authenticity and
goodness of wine whose production chain
is of great importance in Italy as well
as in other European countries there are
both European and National regulations
prominent among the national ones is law
238 of 2016 which sanctions anyone who
in wine making or wine handling
operations uses all or part of
unauthorized products such as alcohol
sugars or sugary or fermented materials
other than those derived from fresh
grapes even if slightly dried but also
of considerable relevance is article 516
of the criminal code which punishes
anyone who offers for sale or otherwise
markets as genuine non- genuine food
stuffs I report this today because it
happened that a fraudulent organization
bought lowquality wines increased the
alcohol content by adding alcohol and
put it on sale at a higher price it
should be added that it did not limit
itself to this but falsified the bands
and gave false indications to Consumers
on the and dog Italian judges are
fortunately strict against these
dishonest operators and the court of
caion in a judgment of 4th April 2024
stated among other things that they can
be punished under both General and
special regulations in fact if the
person engages in an overall conduct
that violates on the one hand the rules
of the special discipline and on the
other hand different and additional
rules derivable from articles of the
criminal code then the application of
both disciplines in relation to
individual conducts carried out could
not be excluded also because the two
regulations are one relating to the
previous phase of adulteration and the
other to the subsequent phase of
marketing in this case the court of
caion confirmed both the first and
second instance decisions continuing
with a constant jurisprudential dire
this is a good thing because this
protects the interest in the regularity
of Commerce and Industry and more
generally the national economy
especially regarding economic initiative
and private property Above All We
consumers can rely on the quality of
wine which to quote caliana like the
dream of the lover infuses Joy
