I am new to this forum. I have recently been introduced to this on-line wine exchange platform BBX sponsored by Berry Brothers & Rudd in London. I played around with the website. It seems to be very well designed and have the right safeguard in place to ensure the authenticity of the wines being traded there. Only wines stored at BBR’s in-bound warehouse is allowed to be traded. Customers are allowed to bring their wines stored in other location to BBR’s in-bound warehouse for trading via BBX. The acceptance of these external wines are are subjected to final inspections of wine by BBR.
My question is that with the increase in counterfeit wines showing up in reputable auctions run by reputable auctions such as AMC and Christine as evidenced by Henry Tang’s recent alleged fake La Tache wines being put up for auction in Christie’s auction in Hong Kong, is it safe to start buying and trading wines through BBX?
Does anyone know the reputation of BBR?
