Hello John, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your expectations haven’t been met, and we’d like to address the points in your review to provide a clearer picture for you and others reading. First and most importantly: your wines absolutely do exist and are securely stored in globally recognized, professional wine storage facilities such as Octavian Vaults and LCB. These third-party warehouses are industry-standard and used by top wine merchants and collectors worldwide. Regarding your statement about shipping, international wine logistics are complex and can be costly, especially when dealing with duties, tariffs, temperature-controlled handling, and consolidation across multiple warehouses. We never charge arbitrary fees—any shipping quote you receive reflects real third-party costs, and we’re always happy to explore ways to minimize those expenses. As for wine sales: all wines listed through Vinovest are marketed to the outside fine wine trade, not just within our platform. Demand depends heavily on market conditions, maturity, and pricing. While liquidity can vary, our team continues working on your behalf to identify buyers through a broad network of global merchants and collectors. Finally, we’re disappointed to hear you felt ignored. We make every effort to respond to support inquiries, and if you’ve been waiting on a reply, we’d like to investigate and follow up immediately. Please reach out to us directly at [email protected] with your registered account information so we can address your concerns without delay. We understand your frustration and are here to help. While the journey in alternative investments like fine wine isn’t always smooth, we’re committed to transparency and improving our platform and services every step of the way. Thank you again for your feedback.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your frustration and want to take this opportunity to clarify a few important details regarding your account. All of your wines have now been successfully sold, and 100% of the proceeds were returned to you as of the end of June. While we understand the experience may not have met your expectations, we want to confirm that no funds have been withheld and your account has been fully settled. We also want to clarify that Vinovest does not charge advisory or performance fees. The fees deducted from your sale proceeds were related to storage and insurance, which are clearly disclosed and continue to apply while your wines are stored—whether they are held, listed, or awaiting sale. These fees ensure that your wines are professionally preserved until the moment of transfer or delivery. We understand that the fine wine market operates differently from more liquid asset classes. Sales can take time, and values can fluctuate depending on market demand and maturity. That said, we’re always available to provide guidance and transparency throughout the liquidation process. Thank you again for your feedback.

Hello Rene, Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand your frustration and sincerely appreciate your patience throughout the selling process. It’s important to clarify that wines on Vinovest are sold on the external market, and as such, sales can be influenced by external demand and market conditions. This means there is no guaranteed timeframe for selling, and pricing may fluctuate based on market interest at any given point. We've confirmed that your portfolio has been fully sold and that your funds have been returned to you. Thank you for allowing us to manage your investment, and we wish you all the best in your future ventures.

Hello Rick, Thank you for your feedback—we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. Wine is a long-term asset, and unfortunately, the broader market has seen a downturn over the past few years. While our team selects wines based on historical performance and market data, no investment is without risk—especially in periods of lower global demand and shifting buyer behavior. Choosing to sell your wines after only 1 year of investment adds to the potential risk. Regarding your note on selling below market price: our pricing data comes from third-party sources and wines are listed on external marketplaces where actual sale prices are determined by what buyers are actively willing to pay. We never force sales below market value, but in some cases, clients choose to reduce prices in order to improve liquidity. As for your withdrawal, we sincerely apologize if there was any delay. While most withdrawals are processed in a timely manner, occasional delays can happen due to third-party settlement times. If your withdrawal is still pending, please reach out to our support team so we can investigate and ensure this is resolved immediately. We also appreciate your mention of the whisky cask offering—this is a separate asset class with its own unique risks and timelines, and we aim to provide full transparency before clients commit. We’d welcome the opportunity to make this right. Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly so we can assist you further.
