Lafite authentication tips: How to identify the authenticity of your wine collection?

To combat counterfeit wines, Château Lafite Rothschild has introduced various anti-counterfeiting technologies at different times. As professional Lafite resellers , we share a few simple identification points:

  • Bottle engraving: Since 1996, the bottle has been engraved with the word "Lafite" in relief; in 2000, it has a unique engraving of "1999" and "2000" around it.
  • Prooftag: Every bottle of Lafite produced since February 2012 (covering wines from 2009 onwards) has a one-time-use prooftag sticker on the neck, containing a unique prooftag code and a 13-digit alphanumeric serial number.
  • Wine label printing: Genuine wine labels are printed using embossing technology, which gives them a distinct sense of depth when touched, and the patterns are clear, detailed, and free from blurring or smudging.
