Fine Wine Market Recovery 2025: Three Months of Growth
Fine Wine Market Update: A Strong Three Month Turnaround After a 36 Month Decline
The fine wine market recovery is finally taking shape after a long 36 month decline. For the first time in years, we are seeing consistent signs of renewed strength, rising demand, and improving sentiment across key regions. For the first time in three years, we have recorded three consecutive months of improvement, with stronger demand, better sentiment, and buyers returning across key regions. It marks a welcome shift for collectors and investors who value stability and long term opportunity.
September and the Early Signs of Fine Wine Market Recovery
September brought a noticeable change in tone across the industry. Prices for established labels began to settle, and the long soft period that defined the past few years started to ease. Buyers re entered the market in greater numbers, trading activity lifted, and confidence returned across private clients and merchants alike.
Italy, Champagne, and classic Bordeaux estates drew renewed interest, as collectors once again focused on regions with strong track records and reliable long term demand.
October Strengthens the Fine Wine Market Recovery
October reinforced what September had started. Demand strengthened across several premium categories, and trade levels were healthier than they had been in months. Merchants reported more active private collectors, a rise in international buying, and a broader willingness to reallocate capital back into fine wine.
Italy remained a leading force, alongside Champagne and other blue chip European regions. The improvement was broad, steady, and encouraging across the board.
This stage of fine wine market recovery is being supported by stronger buyer engagement and broader regional stability.
The third month of gains confirmed a market turning point
As the market continued to stabilise into the third consecutive month, confidence spread beyond the early recovery regions. Classic labels, blue chip estates, and long established producers began attracting renewed attention. Trading platforms and global buyers reported increased competition for recognised wines, suggesting that the recovery was no longer tentative but taking root.
These gains were supported by genuine collector activity rather than short term speculation, often the mark of a more durable shift.
A Fine Wine Market Recovery That Signals a Healthier Year Ahead
Taken together, the past three months show a clear and meaningful improvement.
• Demand is strengthening across multiple regions
• Buyers are more active, from seasoned collectors to international investors
• Sentiment is improving after a difficult multi year period
• Trading platforms and auctions are seeing increased competition
• Established labels and prestigious regions are back in favour
• And crucially, the industry has now recorded three consecutive months of progress after a 36 month decline
This is the strongest signal in years that the market is entering a more optimistic phase, with momentum that could carry into early 2026 and beyond.
