Why Invest in Fine Wine?

• Unique supply and demand dynamics: The unique supply and demand dynamics ensures that prices will continually rise over time.  Fine wine is an asset with a strictly limited quantity.  The top investment grade fine wines come from the Bordeaux and Burgundy regions of France.  Fine Wine is finite and the top Chateau’s only produce a limited number of cases each year.  The quality of fine wine improves over time creating enhanced demand for it.  Demand has been increasing rapidly and markets such as China and Russia have seen massive growth.

• Steady and Consistent returns: Fine wines have consistently yielded an average annual return exceeding 10% over the last 25 years. 

• Price: One expects a wine's value to increase as it matures and, in the case of top Bordeaux, quite considerably so. This is not always the case for some of the lesser names or more obscure wines but, as a rule, if Chateaux or Merchants are investing in stock over the years, as global supply diminishes the price tends to rise. This is particularly true of the most sought after properties in top vintages.

• Provenance: Buying very young wines and mature wines allows us the rare opportunity to store them in the perfect conditions of Octavian Bond.

• Tax efficient: Fine wine is classed as a wasting asset that is exempt from Capital Gains Tax.  Storing fine wine in a government bonded warehouse does not attract duty or VAT.

• Easily Realisable: Fine Wine represents a highly liquid asset.

• World-Wide Portability

• Stable Investment Base

• Tangible asset: You are not investing in a fund, but actually buying physical stock.

• Lower Risk than equities: Fine Wine has consistently risen in value by at least 10% per year for the last 20 years.  Coupled with its finite availability and diminishing supply, the risks are much lower then with other investment vehicles.
