The Alliance Against Counterfeit Spirits (AACS) represents the world’s major international spirits producing companies. AACS has been in operation since 1993 with one single purpose - to combat the counterfeiting of distilled spirits brands.
The actions of counterfeiters pose a direct health risk to consumers, erode legitimate tax revenues and undermine consumer trust in well established brands.
The AACS is active in more than 20 countries and protects the brands of some of the largest spirits businesses in the world
