能源巨头比尔.科赫热衷于名酒收藏,他近来提起5宗涉及酒类的法律诉讼,分别状告酒商,拍卖师和其余酒类收藏家,案件至今未有裁决。
His grape-related gripes began in 2006, when he filed a complaint against a German winedealer who sold bottles of Lafite he claimed had once belonged to Thomas Jefferson. Thecase is unresolved.
科赫先生对买红酒的抱怨始于2006年,当时他从一名德国酒商手中购买了很多据称是托马斯杰斐逊收藏过的红酒,后来发现有假而投诉了这名德国酒商,案子至今未果。
There is a code of silence in the industry, says Mr Koch, who owns 43,000 bottles of wineand estimates that he has spent $4m-5m on fakes.
科赫先生说: 业界存在着一套潜规则,即买到假酒也要毫不声张 。他拥有43000瓶上好葡萄酒,但用于购买假酒的钱估计也在4-5百万美元左右。
Some collectors are too proud to admit that they have been duped.
有些收藏者觉得承认被骗不是件光彩的事。
Others fear sullying a vintage s reputation and thereby reducing the value of their owncollections.
另一些则担心玷污了葡萄酒的声誉会降低自己拥有葡萄酒的收藏价值。
So instead of speaking out, they dump their fakes into auctions or sell them to other privatecollectors, says Mr Koch.
