As an investor you want to understand what a wine is worth, whether you are paying a fair price with the potential for growth, and the price performance of your investment wines over time. So how is wine valued and what influences price?
The value of fine wine is shaped by the market but the key factors are brand, supply, demand, critics' quality scores, regional vintage quality, and trading trends.
Other drivers are more nuanced and require an investor to keep up-to-date with news and events. These include economic and geo-political conditions, special bottlings, rare collection sales, winemaker mortality, estate acquisitions, and celebrity endorsements.
Liv-ex is the independent fine wine stock exchange and the largest, most liquid secondary market for wine investments.

Vin-X is a trading member of Liv-ex and as our client, we ensure that you enjoy the benefits of this market, key being price transparency and trading efficiency.
Wine producers will set their release prices of a new vintage based on supply, quality scores, current market trends, and price performance of their back vintages.
Once the initial supply of a new vintage is released, the secondary market demand will then drive price performance. The ongoing value will be influenced by future critics’ scores as the wine matures and any changes in regional trends or producer circumstances that may affect supply and demand in the market.
Key drivers of wine investment price performance are supply and demand. Supply is finite and tightly managed and can be impacted by climate and extraordinary events each vintage.
Increasing global demand as the wine ages and quality improves, reduces supply in the market and, as the wine becomes rarer, the price goes up.
