Hi Mike,

you mean Jeremy Kasler no longer the CEO? So who is in-charged now? Can we all join up to do anything against them?

Thanks.

Yes . AWI is a nightmare, do not invest with them. Andrew is just a terrible shit idiot, he always tried to avoid and dont even return email or answer the call.I have waited so long for my wines to trade off, until now……0.

Yes indeed they are changing brokers, the turnover rates are faster then Mcdonald, beware all investors.They will always ask to buy buy buy, but when sell, they will drag drag drag drag drag drag drag.

I have been to a few of their tasting and seems like the boss is no longer there, fishy company.

Seem like everyone went for a break on CNY. Basically, I’m very unhappy with AWI too & won’t recommend anyone to invest with them.

I started in 2005 thinking it will be a good investment fr all the info given by the broker but only to realize is a “scam”. They are so prompt in getting you to buy the wine but when come to trading it off, is a nightmare. They gave all sort of reasons and even the valuation get delay a few times and they still dare to say because due to RPJ delay when RPJ don’t evaluation Australian wine anymore.

And indeed Andrew is one big liar. He told me my wine trade is going well and promised to call me back but the next thing I know the whole company went on 2 weeks holidays leave at year end. Tried to email him and got scolded in the the email. I would say is a very bad expirence with AWI.

So do beware …

Hi Mike

Read the posts here on AWI with increasing worry & annoyance.. Invested with AWI in 2005 & into my 4th broker whom I received a call from him only once last year. I must say the 2nd & 3rd were the worst brokers of the 4: the 2nd broker named Ian earned a huge chunk from me (wth a bait that they had engaged a very experienced wine broker from UK to set up a division to sell off the wines in a few months’ time then) & subsequently heard that he left for HK; while after a year, the 3rd broker called – twice in fact (forgotten he had called to introduce himself earlier) & babbled throughout leaving me no impression of his name!! Ever told off the 3rd & 4th brokers that I would not invest anymore unless I see my investments being liquidated 1st!!! Guess both vanished into thin air after hearing that.

Hence, can share how much did you invest with them? Would like to gauge what are my chances of getting my monies back if I were to adopt your method of storming into their office..

Many thanks in advance!

I have read with concern the notes left on this blog. I manage a Wine platform – Wine Exchange Asia here in Singapore. One of our most popular platforms of sale is our Singapore Live Market page which enables owners of wine to advertise ther wines for sale to our database of some 3000 customers here in Singapore. I would be happy to evaluate any of the wines which you own and assist in the sale of them.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Oh dear, yet another case of foreign sharks coming in to feed on local guppies. When is our caring mentor going to use his superior intellect to safeguard his charges?
