1995 Vandarch Republic wine scandal: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

Based on wine fraud discovered previously in [[Yonderre]] involving illegal sweetening in [[Anglei|Ænglish]] wines, laboratory testing of imported wine had intensified in Yonderre in the mid-1990s. The first wine discovered to contain diethylene glycol was a 1993 Carmadon from a supermarket in [[Sainte-Catherine]], analysed on June 27, 1995. Differing from the previous Ænglish sweetening, which had been done with sugar, the Holldoner wine was found to contain a toxic compound and prompted an immediate declaration of a health crisis. Subsequent sampling indicated that a significant number of different bottlings were part of this dangerous adulteration scheme. Therefore, unlike cases of simple sweetening, the 1995 diethylene glycol findings immediately took the proportion of a full-scale scandal requiring action by federal authorities. On July 9, the government of Yonderre issued an official health warning against the consumption of Holldoner wines, enlarged to include Diorisian and Ænglish wines on July 12.

From mid-July onwards, it was almost impossible to sell Ænglish, Holldoner or Diorisian wine on any export market. Some countries like [[Yonderre]] and [[Urcea]] confiscated thousands of bottles and [[Burgundie]] introduced a ban on the import and sale of all Ænglish, Holldoner or Diorisian wines on July 29, 1995 which almost sparked a diplomatic incident with the [[Deric States]]. In many other countries Ænglish, Holldoner ands Diorisian wines were removed from shelves by wine dealers. Not until 2008 did the export volume of wine from Hollona and Diorisia reach pre-1995 levels, and Ænglish wine exports did not recover until 2013, eighteen years after the incident, despite optimistic predictions from some quarters in Anglei that it would all be forgotten in other countries in one year's time.
