Investing in wine

While we firmly believe that wine is made to be drunk, there is no denying that certain wines have also proved themselves to be rewarding investment vehicles. These bluechip wines tend to herald from classic regions and producers, though the performance of individual names can vary according to the prevailing fashion and critical acclaim. Specific vintages also play a huge role here, with some far more coveted than others. Should you be looking to buy wines with an eye on their investment potential, we would be happy to advise and source such a portfolio.
