(TheDrinksBusiness) - Huge amounts of counterfeit wines are yet to be uncovered according to Serena Sutcliffe MW. Addressing attendees of the Fine & Rare Specialist course at Vienna’s Palais Coburg earlier this month, the head of Sotheby’s wine department said that current allegations concerning counterfeiting were “the tip of the iceberg”.
She also said that the discovery of wine scams were a “good thing” and that Sotheby’s had turned down cellars worth “millions” due to a lack of perfect provenance.
