In a statement released today, the Institute of Masters of Wine said it was ‘aware of certain claims being made in regard to the alleged conduct of one of its members, Pancho Campo MW.’

It had ‘received a formal complaint into [Campo’s] alleged conduct’, it went on, and ‘has opened an investigation. No conclusions have been reached, investigations will continue, and no further statement will be made until such time as the investigation has concluded.’

Institute spokesman Nathanial Anderson said as the investigation was in progress he could go into no further detail as to its scope, or the nature of the allegations.
