Hi there, I came across this forum from my Google Alerts and I am in the position to answer all of your questions regarding investment in the wine market. You are correct in thinking that wine can offer over 15% per annum profit but I would always recommend you expect 10% - 12% to manage your expectations in a more sensible and achievable way.
I am the co-founder and Investments Director of Premier Cru Fine Wine Investments and we are the worlds leading Fine Wine Investment House. We are a specialist company that provides a full service for our clients from the choice of the right wines to buy all the way through to the eventual sale.
What most people don't realise is that wine is a lower risk investment which has traditionally high returns and great tax advantages for most investors. Wines can be selected to meet low, medium or high risk attitudes and the right wines need to be chosen to maximise profits and to suit the amount of money and time you have.
We have historical data that goes back hundreds of years the market is less volatile than other more traditional investment markets, and the wines are a tangiable asset which you should always wholly own, It is important to do your research as there are a few 'ethically challenged' companies out there and the adviser you choose should have a good track record, safeguards in place for your benefit, a good reputation, and a public profile is always a help.
If you have any questions that I can help with please ask. If you want to send any direct emails please send enquiries to
enquiry@premiercru.com and quote Project Senso or Forum and I will instruct my staff to forward the emails to me for a personal and direct response.
i have also tried to attach our graph which demonstrates the wine market performance to give you a better idea of how the market fairs.
