Fine wine is up for a fifth straight quarter…

… and the recovery is spreading.

Trading volumes dipped over the summer, as they always do. Prices didn't. The WineFi Trade Price Index rose 1.5% in Q3 to its highest level since Q3 2023, extending a recovery that began in mid-2025.

The recovery is also broadening: all eight regions and all three price brackets rose in Q3, and on the Liv-ex Fine Wine 50, buyers' bids now exceed sellers' offers. But the biggest gains still belong to mature, scarce wines bought at auction, led by a Rhône that has quietly climbed 5% in a year.

Download the full report to see which regions, vintages and labels are leading, and which are still lagging.
