Top Tips For InvestingIn Fine Wine

Deal only with established and reputable merchants, but shop around for advice and prices
Buy your wines 'in bond' so that UK duty and VAT are not payable
Buy unmixed sealed cases, in original wood. Condition and provenance are key
Expect to invest over a minimum five year period, but be ready to sell if advised
Buy as close to the opening price as possible
Invest at least £10,000 if you are looking for serious returns
Don't blindly buy just the big names - they may have less profit potential
Listen to your wine merchant
Make sure you know the provenance and storage history of any wine you buy
Make sure that your wine is insured and stored in your name
