Cru Wine Featured in the Financial Times: Finding Opportunity in Today’s Fine Wine Market
We are proud to share that Cru Wine has recently been featured in the Financial Times, one of the world’s most respected business and financial publications. You can read the full article here.
In a recent article examining the current state of the global fine wine market, our founder and chief executive Gregory Swartberg was quoted for his perspective on how challenging market conditions can also create exceptional opportunities for informed buyers.
Cru Wine Featured in the Financial Times: A Challenging Market
The article highlights how fine wine prices, particularly for regions such as Burgundy, Bordeaux and Champagne, have faced sustained pressure over recent years. Factors including geopolitical uncertainty, tariffs, and shifting investor preferences have contributed to softer pricing across many traditionally strong categories.
While these conditions have been difficult for parts of the industry, they also mark a moment of opportunity for collectors and investors with a long-term view.
As Gregory explained in the Financial Times, periods like this often allow buyers to access world-class wines at levels rarely seen during stronger market cycles.
Burgundy in Focus: Insights from Cru Wine Featured in the Financial Times
One area Gregory highlighted was Burgundy, particularly white Burgundy from the 2023 vintage. With expectations of a low-yield 2024 harvest, supply constraints may emerge in the years ahead, a dynamic that historically plays a significant role in shaping future market performance.
At Cru Wine, our approach has always been grounded in careful analysis of both market conditions and vineyard fundamentals. We believe that understanding production volumes, vintage quality, and long-term demand is essential when identifying wines with genuine potential, whether for enjoyment, collecting, or investment.
