How to distinguish a fake Bosc
It is important to know that there is a certain "clone" of Bosca, which has the same name as the original Italian champagne. But it is produced in Lithuania and is very far from the characteristics of a real branded drink.
Nevertheless, be vigilant and buy only a proven product, without falling for the tricks of other pseudo-producers.
We offer several ways to help the buyer be safe when buying Bosca champagne. We suggest you familiarize yourself with them:
The label on the bottle of the original drink is glued evenly, without glue stains or other signs of sloppy work. If it is glued crookedly, then this is a clear sign of a fake.
As a rule, there are spelling mistakes in the name of the brand on counterfeit drinks: instead of "Bosca", for example, "Rosca" is indicated. The letter R is very similar to the letter B in the original inscription.
Don't forget to check the bottle for the Italian barcode (first digits of the code are 80 - 83).
The price of Bosca sparkling wine is above 6 euros, with the rare exception of promotions, the low cost of the product should alert you.
Be careful when choosing sparkling wines, do not hesitate to carefully inspect all the details of the bottle. By devoting just a few minutes of your time to this, you will avoid buying a fake.
