6. Why invest in wine?
Proven track record
The last 30 years are proof that fine wine is one of the best performing
assets, with a compound annual growth rate of 10%.
Uncorrelated to the market
In times of market turmoil, such as the 2008 crisis or the coronavirus
pandemic, investments in fine wine are fairly insensitive to the macro
economic context.
It’s a tangible asset
Wine has intrinsic value that makes it suitable for preserving wealth as a
medium to long-term investment.
Increasing demand
Globally, due to new emerging economies, people drink more fine wine than
ever before. Combined with reduced supply, this makes wine prices go up.
Limited supply
Fine wine production is controlled by law. What’s more, production methods,
weather conditions and geographic constraints also influence quantities.
Together, these parameters contribute to the scarcity of fine wine.
