The probe follows a complaint submitted by the China Alcoholic Beverages Association on behalf of China's brandy industry, the country’s commerce ministry said. It will focus on brandy in containers of less than 200 litres from the European Union.
Pernod Ricard and Remy Cointreau sell cognac, brandy under brands including Hennessy, Remy Martin and Martell.
