A diversified investment portfolio

Developing a balanced fine wine portfolio will allow you, as a keen investor, to add diversity to your fine wine investment portfolio. Fine wine prices are less volatile than equities and commodities, and are less susceptible to economic cycles.

Stellar Performance

Fine wine has shown consistent returns over the past 30 years and has frequently out performed most indices, including gold & oil. In the past 5 years a well-balanced fine wine portfolio has generated tax free returns of over 25% per annum and the fine wine’s benchmark index, the Liv-ex 100 which tracks the prices of the top 100 wines, has increased by 133% over the same period. In 2010 alone, the Liv-ex 100, rose 40% compared to the FTSE 100’s 9% growth.

Limited supply, increasing global demand

The supply of fine wine from Bordeaux is strictly controlled by the Apellate Contrôlée Rules, which restrict the total amount of wine that each Chateau can produce each harvest. As the wine will start to be consumed from the moment it is bottled, and demand for the finest vintages increases globally due to increasing wealth and interest, prices rise as supply is diminished.

Lucrative tax free investment

There are tax advantages to investing in fine wine. Wine is viewed by HMRC as a ‘wasting chattel’ and so wine purchased as an investment is exempt from capital gains and income tax. As your wine will be stored under Bond there is also no duty or VAT on your purchase - contact one of our team to discuss the tax advantages in more detail.
