Counterfeit wine identification has become an increasing concern for many fine and rare wine collectors. The counterfeit wine problem has appeared more frequently in our country’s court system as well. Our spirits & wine appraisers, wine valuations specialists, wine experts, and wine investigators will identify possible counterfeit wines found in your wine collection. We will also investigate the spirits and wines that you are considering purchasing.
Today wine fraud is not just relegated to the contents of spirits & wine bottles. Wine fraud also applies to bottle labels, the purchase of “wine futures”, as well as bait and switch schemes, and other devious scams. Wine Fraud is also becoming more commonplace as found in insurance loss claims. Our spirits & wine investigators , wine experts, and wine fraud investigators are former law enforcement officers and possess Special Investigations Unit (SIU) training.

Our spirits & wine experts, sommeliers, and wine educators are often requested by individuals, nonprofits, trade groups, and companies alike to either provide spirits and wine consulting for their upcoming events, and or to provide in depth training and educational opportunities and experiences for incentive or recreational purposes.

An appraisal review is the written review and appraisal of another appraiser’s flawed appraisal reports. Our appraisal reviews will examine the previous spirits & wine appraisers qualifications and confirm or deny the appraisers following accepted appraisal theory, appraisal methodology, and appraisal practices as required under federal law – The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
If a winery or spirits & wine collector files a loss claim with their insurance company and they are experiencing difficulties, or conversely the insurance company has unanswered questions pertaining to the circumstances surrounding a particular insurance loss claim, then a Cause and Origin Investigation Report might be the answer in determining the source, origin, and or cause of the reported loss. Our staff professionally trained spirits & wine investigators and counterfeit wine identification specialists conduct cause and origin investigations in which the subsequent findings are published in our reports. We provide this impartial and objective service to both insurance companies and individuals alike.
If a personal property item has been damaged due to fire, flood, water, hurricane, tornado, negligence, accident, or Act of God, sometimes the item can be repaired and or sometimes the item is declared irreparable. Obviously, where spirits & wines are concerned, you can’t repair these consumable items, but only replace them at a declared “Insurance Replacement Value”. The Scope of Damage Evaluation Report service is a terrific follow-up to a winery appraisal, or spirits & wine appraisal report, in factually determining the final disposition or outcome of the subject property. Our scope of damage evaluation report service provides our clients with expert answers as to how much of the collection is “destroyed”, “in good condition”, and “drinkable” (salvageable). If your insurance company suspects insurance fraud, our spirits & wine fraud investigators and counterfeit wine identification specialists are here to assist your insurance company.
