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
