Let’s talk about wine investing
Wine consistently outperforms other alternative assets. Vinovest makes wine investment easy.
Back in 2018, in a Sotheby’s auction room in New York, a bottle of 1945 Romanée-Conti was put up for sale. By the time the auctioneer’s gavel hit the block, a private collector had agreed to pay $558,000 for the single bottle of wine.
So why would someone pay the equivalent of a one-bedroom flat in London for a single bottle of wine?
Although not every bottle of investment grade wine will sell for six figure sums, they will all appreciate in value over time, earning handsome returns for those smart investors who are willing to play the long game.
Why invest in wine?
Fine wine is gaining steam among investors as an alternative asset. It offers a low correlation with the traditional markets, steady returns and bond-like volatility. Savvy investors are increasingly turning to investment-grade wine as a way to diversify their portfolios.
• Fine wine outperforms most global equities. Wine as an asset class has yielded a 13.6% annualized return over the last 15 years. Even with global stock markets experiencing record-breaking runs, they have not been able to keep pace with the market for fine wines.
• Wine has low correlation with traditional markets. Wine doesn’t concern itself with inflation or interest rates. Its value is driven by consumption and ever-decreasing supply of vintage wine. That is why during the 2008 financial crisis, the S&P 500 fell 38.5%, while the Liv-Ex 1000 (fine wine index) fell only 0.6%.
• Fine wine has low volatility. The longer you hold on to wine, the less volatile it becomes. Low volatility can mean more peace of mind for investors. On average, wine has about a third of the volatility of stocks.
• You have tangible ownership. When you only own stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, you really only own them on paper. Not the case with fine wine. As the sole owner, you can keep, sell, or even drink your investment, should you desire!
