Past events of the Wine Fraud and Counterfeiting Presentation and Authentication Training Levels I & II feedback is in! And the feedback is extremely positive! With attendees from the press, industry, and as collectors from all over the world, we were excited to educate them about wine counterfeiting and how to authenticate. Below are some pictures from the events, as well as testimonials from some of our attendees.

“This was just phenomenal. I absolutely loved it. It’s hard to know where to begin on the things I loved. The presentation was fascinating, the time with the bottles invaluable. It really was a remarkable day.”
-Joe Fattorini, The Wine Show

“It was brilliant. Really enjoyed the day and learnt so much.”
-Richard Bampfield, MW

“I thought the Wine Authentication and training was absolutely fantastic, it was a real honour to attend. I learned a tremendous amount and it was absolutely fascinating. It was a privilege to experience such world class knowledge first hand. The presenters were all wonderful and Maureen herself was simply inspirational. Thank you all so much for a really unforgettable experience. I feel that going forward I would be in a position to spot some of the ‘red flags’ which is very reassuring.”
-Kate Ridett, Rare Wine Vintages

“Thanks once again for having us at the Wine Authentication course last week. It was incredibly informative, eye opening in fact & useful as well from a networking point of view, meeting fellows from across the region and beyond.”
-James Fildes, Bidvino

“I just wanted to thank all of you for an amazing experience and wine seminar! Maureen, you are an amazing wine person.  You are a leader and pioneer in the fraud/authentication field.  What you’re doing is very progressive.”
-Mike Widmaier, Chicago Wine Consulting

“Counterfeiting is a large-scale issue in today’s wine industry and yet too few people seem to acknowledge this problem as much as Maureen & Siobhan do. They are not only highly-skilled and inspirational, they contribute to expose the extent of the problem and help buyers and clients detect questionable bottles with a unique approach. The quality of the presentation and introduction to their methodology is an eye-opening experience.”

-Etienne Paumier, Watson’s Wine

“As a wine merchant of 25 years+ experience and having worked for a number of London’s top wine merchants, Maureen’s approach is a breath of fresh air in helping both traders and consumers see through the secrecy and be able to understand what is real and what is not.”

-Jamie Graham, Brunswick Fine Wines
