Wine: A Good Investment
Choice
With financial turmoil still presents in many
parts of the world- wine investment could
well be one of the smartest moves to make.
Market studies show that in recent years
fine wines have been stable, offer a high
yield and are a low risk investment.
Simplicity is the name of the game in wine
investment and it is an industry that would
make a good example of how economics

Turning Your Love of
Wine into Wealth
To many in Singapore wine has become a passion. It is a passion that connects the
worlds of food, fine dining and, now, thanks to a unique company called Profiters
International, it combines a passion for investment as well. Profiters International
is a regional outfit that has more than a decade of experience in the field of wine
investment. From the intricacies of rare vintage collections to cult wines and the
growing popularity of New World wines, the staff at Profiters International can
provide you with the right information…at the right time. BY STEVE O’ROURKE
is suppose to work. Wine investment is not
speculative and represents a Stable
Investment- you simply buy at a lower
price- wait for the wine to mature and sell
at a mature price. Wine investment cannot
be manipulated- it relies mainly on supply
and demand and no one can physically
re-produce a previous vintage unless- they
are a time-traveling winemaker! Also there
are no management fees when it comes to
wine investment and wines stored in a
bonded warehouse are tax-free. Nice.
What Wines Make a
Good Investment
When it comes to investing in wine, vintage
is the key. A golden rule accepted by many
in the industry, including Profiters International,
is that wine investors should buy the
greatest wines from the greatest vintages.
These wine collections usually have a limited
quantity and are in high demand- leading
to a rapid price increase for the wine investor
to capitalize on, when the time is right.

Key principles to
a successful
investment
Some of the key elements that
Profiters International will help
you consider when investing
in wine are quality, climate,
quantity and storage. The
quality of a wine is in part
determined by some of the
world’s top wine critics.
People such as Robert
Parkers, James Halliday and
Jeremy Oliver are hugely
influential in the world of fine
wine and their opinions will
have some effect on the
monetary value of a particular
vintage. Where the wine was
produced and under what
conditions is also important
and the climate and weather
will determine the rating of the
Vintage of Origin for a
particular house. The quantity
of the vintage is another key
factor, as is where and how
you will properly store your
wine.
All of these issues and more
make up the essence of
Profiters International services
and with their talented and
well-trained staff you may find
yourself with a rather unique
addition to your portfolio
