Corona drinkers of the world, beware!

Can you tell the difference between these two bottles?

It took me a while, actually. But it turns out the Chinese are producing -and exporting- Cerono beer, which looks and feels exactly like Grupo Modelo’s Corona beer. (Of course, the real one is quite tasteless but that’s not the point here).

Mexican anti-piracy authorities are fuming over Beijing-based Beijing Cerono Trade Limited Company, which last year sold more than one million cases of Cerono worldwide.

The problem does not stop there. The Chinese apparently have also come up with their own brand of “tequila” called Platinum Tequila Infusión, which is also being exported to the United States with the label “Made in Mexico.”

One thought on “Corona drinkers of the world, beware!
