    Château Pontet-Canet wine-fraud affair

    A fraud was uncovered in which inexpensive table wine was represented as higher-value red Bordeaux through falsified records. The affair caused a major reputational crisis for the Cruse family and ultimately led to the sale of Château Pontet-Canet in 1975.
