Investing in Wine

Chateau Lafite Rothschild

In the last 10 years fine wine has soared in value from 130 GBP for a bottle of Chateau Lafite in 2001 to almost £1,000. Chateau Latour, has surged more than 6 x in the same time.

These wines all come from the Bordeaux region are top brands and appeal to extremely wealthy Asians. This year, prices have risen 13% with Haut-Brion ’96, up more than 20%

Investors can use the services of Vin-X, Berry Brothers & Rudd or Bordeaux Index to create a diversified portfolio of wines.

The investment can be tracked through an online index, much like the FTSE.

Demand is growing faster than supply and is likely to intensify as more affluent Asians join the club.

Midas says - When it comes to wine, knowledge is power. For those with £5K £100K to spare, Bordeaux is worth a look.
