Fine wine and spirits 2025

Your guide to making the most of your cellar

 

Whether you’re new to wine and spirits, or have been collecting for years, this is your definitive guide to how to shape your cellar in the coming year.

 

Combining the expertise of our Buyers, our secondary market experts and our Account Managers, here you’ll find a summary of what to buy, what to drink and what to hold in the coming year. And to make things even easier, we’ve structured this according to the annual cadence of releases (which you can follow in our fine wine calendar).

 

On these pages, we’ve gathered our insights into regional guides. Discover the key trends that will shape 2025, producers representing the best of each region, and vintages that are drinking particularly well now. You'll also find older vintages worth seeking out highlighted on BBX, our authenticated fine wine exchange.

 

As spirits increasingly form part of a well balanced cellar – with the happy advantage that once bottled, they don’t change – we've also included an overview of these. Head to our Scotch Whisky primer for more detailed spirits insights.

 

So dive in, and prepare to get the most out of your collection in 2025.
