Independent re/insurance broker BMS Group has launched BMS Bachus, which is a stock throughput solution to cover wine at all stages of production, storage and transit. The product provides cover from harvest to finished product and includes a wildfire risk prevention offering in partnership with Green Shield Risk Solutions and FireBreak Risk.

Louise Rothschild, director of cargo and stock throughput at BMS, said: “Extreme weather conditions, exposure to wildfire, contamination, handling errors, issues during transport, among others, are some of the daily concerns of winemakers. They face a challenging landscape that is fraught with risks, and which calls for a bespoke approach that takes the particularities of the industry into account.

“Wine is not only a booming business, but also an art, and a labour of love. BMS Bacchus was born out of the wish to provide some peace of mind to passionate winemakers, ensuring they can focus on what they do best.”
