Ukraine intends to bottle fake Crimean wines in Kharkov: “New World”, “Massandra” and “Koktebel”
Ukraine is not abandoning attempts to create an alternative geography and privatize popular Crimean brands. A new Artek is being built in the Carpathians, and the Yalta Forum is being held in Kyiv. Well, at the Kharkov Champagne Wine Factory they are going to produce sparkling wine under the famous “New World” brand. Meanwhile, the cognac factory in Odessa has already announced its “Koktebel”. Well, the Ukrainian “Massandra” in South Palmyra has been bottled for a year now without any twinge of conscience, and they even manage to supply their fake alcohol to Moscow stores.

About it writes the Russian edition “Our version.”
The idea to “revive” Crimean brands of alcohol in Ukraine (that’s right – “revive”!) belongs to Advisor to the Minister of Agriculture Alexander Liev, the former Minister of Resorts of Crimea, who fled to Kyiv a year and a half ago after the events of the “Russian Spring”. Actually, Liev’s idea was that Crimean stamps should be re-registered in Ukraine. This is what was done a year ago - on the sly.
Now Liev’s department is threatening Moscow with lawsuits if wines under Crimean brands are sold outside Russia. But they are already sold there - in at least 20 countries around the world. Thus, in the near future, Crimean winemakers will have to sue cunning Kyiv counterfeiters.
And the fact that the “Novosvetskoe” sparkling wine will be copied by the Kharkov winery, whose products in Ukraine are called only “shmurdyak”, is not the worst thing. , notes the Russian publication. “The use of the New World brand is quite possible at other Ukrainian enterprises,” Liev writes on his Facebook page.
“In general, now, if desired, fake “Golitsyn Brut” can be bottled even in poor Lviv distilleries that previously did not produce any alcohol other than moonshine.
At the same time, neither Liev nor his curator-minister seems to understand that producing the famous brut, entire batches of which in Soviet times were bought on the vine by sophisticated Frenchmen, is not at all the same as “Zhigulevskoye” beer or “Stolichnaya” white beer . However, what kind of understanding are we talking about if “Massandra” muscats have been bottled in Odessa for a year now...”, the publication sums up.
