Potential benefits of investing in fine wine

Asset-backed Investment

Fine wine has an inherent, physical value, which can act as a safe haven for investors during periods of economic uncertainty, recessionary or inflationary. High quality wine becomes more valuable as it matures.

Diversification

With low correlation to traditional asset classes, fine wine can provide downside protection in market downturns and diversification in sources of return. Fine wine has shown a 0.1 – 0.2 correlation to major indices over the last 20 years.

Low Risk & Stable Returns

Low historical volatility helps de risk the overall investment portfolio and, with a stable return profile, improve risk adjusted returns. In the last 10 years, fine wine has seen a growth of 137% and the market has returned 7.3% on average per annum.

Ever growing demand

A finite supply of fine wine drives pricing on the secondary market and creates a compelling investment opportunity. Over time, these wines are purchased, collected and consumed so the supply decreases. 

Tax Efficiency

Wine is considered a wasting asset, generally qualifying for exemption from Capital Gains Tax in the UK.1
