Nisa ends relationship with West Midlands store found to be selling fake wine

Trading standards officers found the counterfeit Yellow Tail wine in the store in Eachelhurst Road, Walmley, after being notified by members of the public, The Express & Star newspaper reported. Yellow Tail owners Casella Brands confirmed the bottles were counterfeit and officers visited the store and seized bottles of Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Shiraz.

Retailer Davanayaki Vickneswaran was also removed as designated premises supervisor.

The symbol group said: “Nisa Retail can confirm that we will no longer be working with the retailer and the store will be de-branded as soon as possible. The selling of counterfeit goods is taken very seriously by Nisa Retail and we will act promptly and robustly with matters of this nature.

“This was an isolated incident involving one retailer and does not reflect on the hundreds of other responsible independent Nisa retailers across the UK.”
