Unlikely to be real though -- apparently China sells more bottles of Chateau Lafite and Latour per year than total annual production. And those are for recent vintages. For classics like the '82, I doubt a 'grocer' like Ole, who isn't a specialist wine merchant would have access to more than 1 case of that wine, if that, for the whole of China.

And even if it was real, that is a 5x mark-up over the auction price for that vintage (which is a believable price).
