When wine ponzi Cult Wines goes tits up my prediction is that the Sunday Times or another member of the deadwood press club will run a big splash asking “ why did nobody spot the red flags as £30 million went up in smoke?” Of course I have warned repeatedly. If you are tempted to part with your hard earned go to both Companies House and TrustPilot. If you are in the deadwood press and you are bored of recycling press releases you could do what you are meant to and go there too.

I have raised numerous red flags about wine investment firm Cult Wines. It is an accident waiting to happen and anyone using its services is just asking for it. I have asked the FCA to wade in but it appears happy to let folks carry on losing their hard earned. The 2025 Annual Report is due by September 30th. It will be horrible and will, as is Cult’s wont, be filed horribly late. But what do customers think?

In my article EXPOSE: £250m raised but Cult Wines Limited is corked » ShareProphets, my financial analysis of Cult Wines accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 showed a loss making and technically insolvent company which had net liabilities of £21.6 million in deep financial trouble. It is getting worse.

I start with the oil price and mention en passant Union Jack Oil (UJO). Then it is Cult Wines, Nigel Farage's spivvery at Stack BTC (STAK) and Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) before clarifying my plans on Golden Prospect Precious Metals (GPM).

Cult Wines about which I have been warning about since last April has now belatedly filed its overdue accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 at Companies House. They show a company in deep financial trouble despite claiming to have raised £250 milion from investors . It’s corked and the FCA, who I have alerted again last week, should be all over this.

I first flagged up this accident waiting to happen almost a year ago. This wine investment company is still luring in new investors with a 3.9* on Trustpilot and the sort of rave reviews that make one blush. It claims to have raised more than a quarter of a billon quid. Its glossy promotions still promise that the market is turning. Yes, the fine wine index is up 0.4% YTD after years of decline but with Cult’s cost base that means folks will still not be making money.

I explain my bet to myself and why I won. I also discuss Ariana (AAU). It is not as if I do not see the shares as cheap it is just that I appear to have stumbled into being heavily overweight in gold shares, notably Amaroq (AMRQ) and Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). I discuss Cult Wines and today's exposes and also the London Bitcoin Company (BTC) where I admit I am becoming a tad nerdishly obsessive.

My source tells me that Cult Wines is paying its PLC costs with money given to it by investors to punt on wine, that it is in deep financial merde, as I flagged up earlier HERE, and that new investors will lose their cash. I am told by readers that it is not the job of the FCA to intervener as Cult is unregulated. So who then is there to protect consumers?

It was April 7 2025 when I warned folks that wine investment company Cult Wines was an avoid at all costs bezzle. Of course, regulators have done nothing about it and so more good money has been lost by British mug punters looking for bonanza returns from fine wines. But now new red flags are fluttering.
