Following the ever-increasing interest in fine wines, more people are using wine as investments.
People have seen great gains from wine over the years and it is increasingly seen as an alternative to other, more typical investments, such as equities.
Our View
Investing in wine is known as an 'alternative investment' and can produce decent returns or investors. As with all investments, supply and demand influences the price so the rarer your wine, the better your profit should be. However, investing in wine is not a regulated activity so consumers have little protection. Many of the gains from wine are tax free, but you should always check!
