2018 SIAL (Shanghai): Italian sounding and copyright
2021 03 30 UPDATE
Myself, Vito Donatiello, the author of these 2 pictures, has received an email from mr V.K. suggesting to mention the name of the producer of these wines and so i do below:
“You are showcasing the Georgian wine brands (with the picture of Joseph Stalin on the bottles) as the part of Italian wine in Shanghai (as the title of the post suggests). In fact it’s Kindzmarauli and Mukuzani, and they are Georgian brands. Please at least, mention it in your post before you publish it wrongly. Sincerely.”
I hope it helps to clarify and if you need to get in touch with me please pass me your email and i will.
Thanks
