Item 4.01 - Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

Resignation of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On November 19, 2021, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., (the "Company") received notice from Moss Adams, LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm ("Moss Adams"), that it had made the decision to resign as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective November 19, 2021. On November 19, 2021, the Audit Committee accepted the resignation of Moss Adams. The Company is in the process of engaging a new independent registered public accounting firm.

Moss Adams audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The report of Moss Adams on such consolidated financial statements, dated October 13, 2021, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

For the two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim periods to the date of resignation, there have been no disagreements with Moss Adams on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Moss Adams, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the consolidated financial statements.

During the two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim periods to the date of resignation, there were no reportable events, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. As previously disclosed, during the audit of the Company's fiscal 2021 consolidated financial statements, management identified a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting relating to business processes and controls to perform reconciliations of certain account balances related to inventory and the received not invoiced and cellar accruals, on a regular basis. The Audit Committee has discussed the material weakness with Moss Adams and the Company has authorized Moss Adams to respond fully to inquiries of the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm, when engaged, concerning the material weakness.

The Company has provided Moss Adams with a copy of the disclosure made in response to this Item 4.01 and has requested that Moss Adams provide a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission confirming their agreement with the disclosures contained herein. Pursuant to such request, Moss Adams has provided the letter attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
