Welcome to The World of Fine Wine
The recent Koch/Rodenstock case has raised awareness of the complex issues involved in counterfeit wine. But it is not just old and rare vintages that are targeted by fraudsters – many more recent vintages are also suspect.
In an exclusive feature for The World of Fine Wine, Dr Jamie Goode, the 2007 Glenfiddich Wine Writer of the year, speaks to leading auctioneers and merchants (including Hardy Rodenstock), reflects on the “Jefferson wine” saga, and recommends strategies to reduce the risk of buying fake wine.

"The World of Fine Wine is by far the best wine magazine in the world. It's scholarly, opinionated, well written and a delight to read. It's also the only magazine I bother to keep. I come back to individual pieces again and again for enlightenment and entertainment. In these days of simple answers, scores out of 100 and branded pap, The World of Fine Wine stands out as a publication that dares to take wine seriously."
"Could it be true that such an intelligent magazine actually exists in this day and age? I keep expecting the bubble to burst, but it hasn’t yet."
Mark Solms, neuroscientist and winery owner
