Investing in wine used to be intimidating. It was also considered only for the rich. Fortunately, things have changed. Wine investment is available to everyone and anyone who is looking for a stable alternative investment. It has – and continues to – deliver consistent returns. The category went up +13% from June 2020 to June 2021, according to the Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index. What’s more, only a modest amount of up-front funds are required to begin building your portfolio. While we always recommend speaking to one of our investment experts before getting started, fine wine is considered to hold fewer risks and more advantageous gains than nearly any other financial or alternative asset category.
Our Top Five Reasons to Invest in Wine
One: Fine wine has a low correlation with gold, oil and global financial markets. It has delivered consistent compounded growth of 10% over the last 30 years. By diversifying your overall investment portfolio with wine, you could add a safe investment that could bring stability and profits, regardless of the economic climate.
Two: It’s a tax-free investment with no Capital Gains Tax. Those who leave their cash in UK bank accounts will see their money eroded over time by inflation. Inflation is currently running at 4% in the UK at the time of writing and those wanting to make the most of their savings should seriously consider taking advantage of the tangible investment options out there.
Three: Fine wine is an improving asset in diminishing supply. The more corks that are pulled over time, the rarer the wine is and therefore the harder to find.
Four: Investing in wine is best when held for a mid to long-term investment period. The longer wines are held, the more opportunity you could have for higher returns.
Five: Perfect provenance of fine wine secures its value and desirability and is absolutely critical when investing or selling. Provenance is 100% guaranteed when you buy from us. All our wines are professionally stored in government bonded warehousing.
