Do You Know How to Authenticate Hennessy XO?

The price of Hennessy has increased a lot, but in fact not all Hennessy old wines are valuable. The grade classification of brandy is: vs< vsop < napoleon < XO < extra < special wine. As for Hennessy fake wine, the main fake wines are XO grade or above. Therefore, if it is a vsop or vs of Hennessy, it is basically unlikely that there will be fake ones.
Unlike other brands of counterfeit wine, Hennessy counterfeit wines are rarely completely manufactured by themselves. More than 90% of Hennessy counterfeit wines are repackaged from old bottles. There are two possible reasons. First of all, the bottle design of Hennessy XO is not easy to copy. Since Hennessy has been an international brand for a long time, even early products have anti-counterfeiting designs, which greatly increases the difficulty of counterfeiting. Another reason is that in the early days, Hennessy XO was the main wine sold in hotels, nightclubs and other places, so a large number of empty Hennessy XO bottles were produced. Therefore, the main fake wines of Hennessy were made by repackaging old bottles.
After understanding the method of making fake wine, you can use the old bottle to fake the new one to identify Hennessy. For Hennessy, as long as you can correctly grasp the two key points, it is not difficult at all to distinguish the authenticity of Hennessy XO.

Method 1: Sealing workmanship

The only thing that needs to be redone when packaging an old bottle is the seal. Therefore, the workmanship of the seal is an important factor in identifying the authenticity of Hennessy. The main identification points of authenticity are the precision of the logo on the upper cover and the spacing between the teeth on the seal.

Method 2: Wine bubbles

The use of wine bubble testing is a relatively advanced technique. This identification method can tell whether there is a problem with the wine itself. It is the most important identification method for Hennessy XO, where fake wines are rampant. When our wine bottle is shaken, we need to observe the bubbles produced. For the old wine Hennessy XO, the bubbles produced are dense, the particles are fine, and they disappear for a long time. However, in most fake wines, the bubbles disappear very quickly and the particles are obviously not fine enough.

The above two identification methods are not only used for Hennessy, but can be used for any brand with clear wine bubble characteristics.
