“
My over-riding requirement is to make money without taking significant risk. Some people are in the wine market to drink it, or lay it down for their daughter’s wedding … I am in it purely for the investment return over the medium to longer term and enjoy learning about another asset class. So far Vin-X has lived up to everything printed on their bottle ... And I look forward to a fruitful relationship for both parties.
— Charles McManus. Vin-X client, Surrey

Investment in fine wine is all about performance. The inherent value of fine wine gives me security and excellent long-term growth potential. I believe that the service provided by Vin-X is exactly what this market needs – making fine wine accessible to any investor. I believe in it so much I joined the team.

Fine wine has been treated as an alternative asset by wealth managers for investment purposes for decades and is now becoming popular alongside other products such as ISAs, stocks and shares. The historical performance of fine wine is that of a stable, low-risk asset which does not directly correlate with more volatile financial markets (such as the FTSE100). As such it is a strong opportunity - an ideal accompaniment alongside savings, funds and other medium to long term products within a financial plan as part of a balanced portfolio.
As a tangible asset with finite supply and increasing rarity over time, fine wine generally resists downturns in financial markets and the effects of inflation, with increasing prices offering solid returns
How the market works
The key factor is the finite supply of investment-grade wine made per vintage by a select group of chateaux and producers with global reputations. European fine wines are predominant and in particular French wine, with Bordeaux accounting for over 70% of trade led by the First Growths.
Wines are quality scored by industry critics, such as Robert Parker, and valuations are influenced by this, the overall vintage quality, the producers’ brand reputation and rarity as wine is consumed, correlated with growing global demand. This dynamic creates a stable asset providing good, long term, tax-efficient returns for investors in fine wine.
Our Wine Investment service
Our specialist brokers provide a bespoke service to our clients to create profitable fine wine portfolios in line with their investment goals from acquisition to sale. As members of Liv-ex and the WIA our clients benefit from our market-leading analysis and systems and are offered investment-grade wines at the best prices for growth.
