One time for a fic I was researching I was reading a review of an aged Scotch, and it was possibly the least believable wine-taster-type description I've ever seen.
Also there was a great episode of Northern Exposure where Shelly accidentally destroyed a priceless bottle of wine and then got some friends to help her fake it. They added all kinds of stupid things, including peat moss for "earthiness".
There was an episode of Black Books with a similar plot. Manny and Bernard drank an extremely expensive bottle of wine that was meant to be a gift for the Pope. They refilled the bottle with all kinds of stuff. The Pope got very sick, poor guy.
