Just like your taste buds, a wine investment can only improve with age
Inflation Hedge
When inflation rises, investors generally turn to wine, which has a limited supply that cannot be duplicated. As a result, it is more scarce and desirable to potential investors.
Portfolio Diversification
Investing in wine can help balance out a portfolio and make it less volatile. Unlike other asset classes that have high correlations with each other, choosing wine will reduce the volatility of any portfolio.
Safe-Haven Status
Wine has been able to maintain its value for years because of the stability and security it provides, which will continue to be true in the coming years. Investors can see this and know that accessing wine will prove to be an investment safe haven.
Wealth Preservation
Investing in wine has many benefits because it can be one of the most effective methods for long-term value storage. Furthermore, it's commonly seen as an ideal investment for new money.
Wine Can Be Private and Confidential
Wine is a one-of-a-kind investment with the added benefit of anonymity. If you want, no one will know you own it. This is a benefit that almost no other investment offers.
Wine is a physical asset
Wine is a tangible asset and cannot be hacked or erased, whereas paper assets carry the risk of being hacked or deleted. As a result, wine is seen as a more favourable investment for investors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Is Wine a Good Investment?
Fine wine is a popular investment option for both collectors and investors. Performance has been historically strong, with low volatility. Fine wine, as a real asset, provides diversity from traditional markets while also giving tax-free potential for collectors.
Is Wine Investment Tax-Free?
Wine is normally free from capital gains tax in the United Kingdom. It's classified as a wasted asset, which means you won't have to pay capital gains tax when you sell it. A wasted asset has a life expectancy of fewer than 50 years, so if you buy wine and sell it 10 years later, you'll still be entitled to a capital gains tax deduction.
How Should Wine Be Stored?
Wine should be stored in a dark, cool, and dry location at a consistent temperature of about 12 degrees. To allow the wine to mature well, humidity levels should typically range between 75 and 80%. In addition, the wine should not be exposed to direct sunlight or vibrations, as this will result in a loss of quality.
Where Should I Store My Wine?
We recommend individuals store their wine in an independent, HMRC-approved Bonded Warehouse. These warehouses typically supply you with your own private account number, and each time wine is moved to your account, you will be assigned a unique rotation number. Warehouse clients receive stock listings, can request condition reports and can visit the facilities with prior agreement.
What Does En Primeur Mean?
Purchasing wine "en primeur" refers to purchasing wine before it has been bottled and released to the market. This is especially true of the best wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the Rhône. The wine is usually sent to the UK a year or two after it is purchased. Duty and VAT are only payable when the wine is released from bond and delivered.
