When the FBI arrests someone for wine fraud, you know the crime has moved into the mainstream. Rumours about the young wine enthusiast apparently called Rudy Kurniawan (he used several aliases) had been flying around the US wine community for some time, but it still came as a shock when, in early March, his house in southern California was raided. He was arrested and photographs of his counterfeiting equipment (including wads of labels of Châteaux Pétrus, Lafleur and Lafite) were circulated.
当联邦调查局(FBI)以制造假冒葡萄酒为罪名而逮捕某人时，这种越来越猖獗的犯罪形式也随之浮出水面。关于这位叫做鲁迪•库尼亚万(Rudy Kurniawan)的葡萄酒爱好者（事实上他有着很多的化名）的传闻其实已经在美国葡萄酒业界内流传甚久，但当事情在三月初真正发生时，人们还是深感意外。他位于南加州(southern California)的住所被警方搜查，本人遭到逮捕，警方拍摄到的照片被人们广为传播，照片内容包括造假设备和大量的假冒酒标，其中有著名庄园柏图斯(Pétrus)，拉芙乐(Lafleur)和拉菲(Lafite)。
