Cruse paragraph
editMore common is the practice of blending inexpensive wine with more expensive wine or other materials and selling it at the higher price. A highly regarded wine shipping company, Henri Cruse, was caught blending cheap Rioja wine into Bordeaux wine. The Bordeaux wine fraud scandal in 1973 forced the sale of Château Pontet-Canet
I can't see that this is consistent with the sources I've seen so far. [1][2] tell a different story, not inasmuch involving blending and not involving Rioja, but passing off table wine as Bordeaux AOC. MURGH disc. 03:16, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Adulterants for sweetness
editDiethylene glycol is not particularly sweet. It was added to produce tears of wine. making the wine look stronger.
Methanol is not sweet at all. It is an intoxicant (and a poisonous one, at that). Narky Blert (talk) 12:09, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
