Whisky Fraud, and How WineFi Guarantees Security and Transparency

In light of recent media coverage concerning fraudulent whisky cask investments, we would like to emphasise WineFi’s robust safeguards that set us apart and protect your investment. We store your wines at Coterie Vaults, the UK’s only purpose built wine storage warehouse.

• We exclusively purchase and store wines in bond, and confirm fully traceable provenance directly from the producer with our suppliers.

• Upon receipt at Coterie Vaults, each wine is assigned a unique rotation number clearly linked to the original purchase invoice.

• All wines are directly and legally owned by syndicate members or private clients, guaranteeing ownership security irrespective of WineFi’s operational status.

• Syndicate assets are securely stored within dedicated syndicate sub-accounts at Coterie Vaults, providing additional transparency and protection.

• Coterie Vaults employees receive dedicated training in identifying forged wines, and flag any anomalies at the point of receipt.

• At Coterie Vaults, conditions are optimised to ensure resale value. All wines are stored in light, temperature, and humidity controlled environments. The warehouse machinery and flooring is designed to reduce vibration.

Your investment security is our priority. Should you require an independent third-party audit of your assets or wish to be directly connected with our partners at Coterie Vaults, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely,

The WineFi Team
