Global Wine Exchange put into compulsory liquidation in 2022 over £1.9m of investor funds
Global Wine Exchange Limited · Wine investment scheme
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Third-party confirmation
Confirmation from the storage provider would show no wine held for investors.
Can mislead when: Counterparties can collude or ignore requests. A non-response is logged as a gap, never as a pass.
Counterparty existence
A stock and warehouse record check would show the claimed holdings did not exist.
Can mislead when: Real companies can be used as pass-throughs. Existence does not prove a real trade, so C6 and C7 still apply.
Regulatory & litigation records
Insolvency records would show the winding-up and the Official Receiver as liquidator.
Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.

A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
