Abstract: |
UK scientists have developed a gadget that helps users detect fake alcoholic drinks without opening the bottle. As the battle continues against counterfeit alcohol, a team at the University of Leicester Space Research Centre have invented a device that uses a beam of light to analyse a bottle’s contents through the glass. The device provides a “signature” of the contents, which is then compared with a signature of the genuine brand. If the match is not identical, it alerts the user that the bottle is a fake.
