An online wine seller surnamed Qian was recently sentenced to three years in prison and fined 40,000 yuan ($6,498) for selling fake branded wine. Police said Qian bought local wine for 15 yuan a bottle and stickers for famed foreign brands from a Yantai supplier in Shandong province. Qian said he began a legitimate business selling real imported wine in 2012, but after making little profit turned to counterfeits.
