Have you been approached to invest in fine wines by a company called Bordeux Wine Trading or International Wine Commodities?

Hertfordshire Constabulary want to speak to anyone across the UK who may have been approached to buy cases of wines from these companies over the three years - and have never received the goods.

The wine is only offered for sale by cases - that cost around £5,000 each and is offered at a good price because it is only available ‘en primeur', i.e. purchased while it is still in the barrel before being taken to bonded UK warehouses.

The wines offered for sale are from the Bordeaux region and include:

  • Lafite Rothschild
  • Haut Brion
  • Mouton Rothschild
  • Margaux
  • Latour

The companies have addresses in Potters Bar, Whetstone and Mayfair.

Anyone who has had contact with the companies should contact Detective Constable Peter Thody at Hertfordshire Constabulary on 0845 33 00 222.

Four men have been arrested on suspicion of fraud and are currently on bail.
