Fine wine has a unique investment profile.
The key to fine wine’s performance as an asset class is simple.
Inherent Scarcity
Only a finite number of investment-grade wines can be produced per year, the quality of which varies from vintage to vintage.
Declining Supply
As bottles from a certain vintage are consumed or damaged over time, they become increasingly scarce.
Increasing Demand
At the same time, as fine wine improves with age and global wealth continues to grow, demand for these sought after wines increases.
This combination of ever increasing scarcity and growing demand helps to drive prices higher.
Fine wine displays a low correlation to traditional asset classes like equities, bonds and commodities, making it a valuable diversifier.
Fine wine’s return profile is accompanied by lower volatility than many other asset classes as a result of its relative illiquidity.
In the UK, fine wine is often regarded as a “wasting asset” — with a predictable useful life of less than 50 years. In these circumstances, no capital gains tax is payable. This exemption also carries through from wine held by a WineFi syndicate.
Each wine region performs slightly differently to one another, allowing for further diversification within the asset class itself. This is in contrast to commodities like oil, and more akin to a “mini stock market”.
