Final Humiliation for Disgraced "Winemaker of the Year"
Looks like the ongoing saga of Béla Vincze - the "Winemaker of the Year" who was found to have improperly doctored his wines - may be coming to a close. Having had his cellar shut down for 30 days by market watchdog OBI last fall after the discovery of artificially-added glycerol in his wines (including the award-winning 2005 ones) Vincze has now been fully ostracized by his fellow vintners in Eger, who have forbidden him for using the local appellation for the next three years, while slapping him with a token fine for good measure. No word if he can still use the famous "Bull's Blood" designation without saying it's from Eger, not that it's going to help anyway, what with everyone knowing that his wines are bullshit.
