The Switched Labels

Valdelena winery, the check before dispatch. Two thousand eight hundred bottles came off the bottling line wearing reserva labels. The laboratory has analysed six at random: four of them hold the young wine from tank eight, which costs a fifth as much. The label run adds up, the line record adds up, and the lorry leaves at seven in the morning.
