Several counterfeit bottles of Aperol and Campari spritz have been seized in Venice. The bottles featured the original label with yellow writing on a blue background and the bright orange liquid visible through the glass.
The counterfeit goods were identified during an inspection by authorities and subjected to seizure. No details have been released regarding the production or distribution methods of the fake product, nor the extent of the seizure.
The Spritz, particularly the Aperol or Campari version, is a cult aperitif born in Northeast Italy, which has become a symbol of Italian social life and is known worldwide. Its global popularity and market value have made it a target for counterfeiting.
The falsification of alcoholic beverages is a criminal phenomenon aimed at replicating successful products using lower-quality, cheap ingredients, then selling them as originals to profit. This often occurs by bypassing health and tax controls. The seizure in Venice represents a concrete case of this type of commercial fraud, which can have implications for consumer health and the economy of legitimate producing companies.
