Wine investing involves buying bottles or cases of fine wine that appreciate in value over time. Platforms like Vinovest and Vint build portfolios of investment-grade wines, handle professional storage, insurance, and eventually sell wines at optimal times. Historically, fine wine has outperformed the S&P 500.
Minimums vary by platform. Vinovest requires $1,000 minimum for managed portfolios. Vint allows investments in fractional wine collections starting around $10,000 per collection. CaskX (whiskey casks) typically requires $5,000+ per cask. Choose based on your budget and desired involvement level.
Investment-grade wine must be stored in professional bonded warehouses with climate control (55°F, 70% humidity), security, and insurance. Platforms like Vinovest use facilities in Delaware (US) or Bordeaux (France). You never physically receive bottles - professional storage is essential for maintaining value and authenticity.
Fine wine has historically returned 10-15% annually, outperforming many traditional assets. However, returns vary by vintage, region, and producer. Bordeaux, Burgundy, and collectible whiskies tend to appreciate most. Not all wines appreciate - investment-grade wines (Liv-ex 100 index) perform best.
Technically yes, but you lose the investment value. Wine investment is about capital appreciation, not consumption. If you want to drink your investments, platforms allow you to take delivery, but you'll pay for shipping and lose future appreciation potential. Most investors never take delivery.
Wine platforms typically charge 1.9-2.85% annually for management, which includes storage, insurance, and portfolio management. Vinovest charges 1.9-2.85% depending on tier. Vint charges different fee structures per collection. These fees cover significant operational costs (storage, insurance, sourcing).
