Because of the practice of blending wines into other wines. So a few criminal wineries impacted orders of magnitude more blended wine production.

The distinction I was trying to draw was that unless there is a similar practice of blending for tumeric, this a systemic, widespread issue where the practice of poisoning customers has become normalized in the industry.

Do you have a source? For all we know, entire industry may have known about it. There were reports of wineries dumping their product to cover their tracks[1].

Do you have a source? I.e. on the number of criminal wineries and that the rest of the Austrian industry was unaware?
