7 Cover for wine exposures CLAIMS EXPERIENCE We have dealt with approximately 25 wine claims over the last two years varying from transit losses to inventory. Our experience reaches beyond wine and into all kinds of spirits. We have vast experience in this field and an understanding of our client s needs when it comes to valuation of products that are, for example, in an ageing process. Our claims personnel are always involved in the technical development of a policy during the quote stage to ensure it meets the client s expectations in the event of a claim occurring. CASE STUDY 1 A forklift truck damaged a storage tank and there was a nasty wine spill. Our account managers happened to be in the area at the time and were able to meet with the loss adjuster to discuss the loss and strategize the handling of the claim. On that same day our London colleagues confirmed their appointment with London reinsurers due to the claims control clause and the investigation began within 24 hours of notification. The loss was collected from the market and paid within three months of notification. CASE STUDY 2 During a polar vortex in the USA, a temperature variation loss occurred. The damage varied from no visual damage at all, to popped corks and broken bottles. Working closely with the London insurers and the loss adjuster, the loss was paid within five months. This was a remarkable achievement given the level and breadth of the loss. Many shipments across the US were affected, but thanks to our one event deductible wording, and insurers agreeing that polar vortex was a single event, the claim was paid net of only one deductible.
