Plus, like other raids that have been in the news, it's not so much about the bootleg spirit, it's about the counterfeiting of someones IP and passing off bootleg spirit as real whatever.

I'll occasionally give a bottle to a friend, but certainly don't sell or claim to be making a branded copy....

As for the tone of the article ? it's not surprising to read stuff like that. The establishment wouldn't like some sort of media outlet to seem to be condoning bootleg spirit would they.

Sounds like a counterfeiting ring, should not be confused with our hobby. Makes us all look bad though.

That seems rather debatable.

I'd bet it was putrid.

I couldn't turn quality product around and make a profit (including my time, and packaging) for less than the supermarkets sell those particular brands for, and you'd have to be selling it cheaper to have an edge.

The raid follows the sale of six bottles

That is the mistake right there.

at the very least, they will be inferior to the genuine branded articles

That seems rather debatable.
