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.
