Just a quick alert. Beware of anyone cold calling selling wine as an investment. I know this sounds like obvious advice, but some people seem to ignore it.<\/p>\n
Lionel Nierop, who runs Bid For Wine<\/a>, told me that he’s discovered that a scam company had been cold calling consumers, selling wine as an investment while pretending to represent Bid For Wine (who don’t use any telephone sales techniques). This is quite scary for someone like Lionel, because if consumers paid for wine, and then it failed to materialize, he’d be left to pick up the pieces.<\/p>\n Jancis Robinson has written on the topic here<\/a>. \u00a0And Jim Budd has bravely published a list of companies he wouldn’t buy wine from here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Be careful who you buy your wine from.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just a quick alert.
