TL;DR
Egyptian all-inclusive hotels serve locally produced alcohol, often poured into branded bottles. Imported spirits are only available at a surcharge in select premium hotels.
Egypt produces its own alcohol locally, which is what gets served at hotels — similar to Turkey. It's not counterfeit spirits, but a decent local product, just not imported.
Imported alcohol is very expensive in Egypt, so it's not available at the standard all-inclusive bar. Every hotel without exception pours local spirits into branded bottles.
Genuine imported alcohol is only available for an extra fee through premium drink packages — for example, the 'Posh' package at Sunrise hotels, 'Ultra' at Steigenberger Hurghada, or at the Four Seasons.
