New working partnership with the innovative Merchants of Vino
-
16th July 2010 By Thomas Gearing (C.O.O) - Cult Wines Ltd - http://www.cultwinesltd.com Wineinvestment.org & Cult Wines Ltd are proud to announce a working partnership with Merchants of Vino  As ROBERT LOUIS STEPHENSON so rightly said “Wine is Bottled poetry” Our philosophy is that wine should be enjoyed. Learning about wine and discovering new tastes should be fun. At Merchants of Vino, we have discovered wines from vineyards never discovered or known about in the UK until now and met the people and their families who have devoted their lives to perfecting the wines. Many of these wines are from small producers who produce small yields and hand harvest, thus ensuring the highest quality wine is produced through love and care. Finding some of these wines have been a great pleasure, stumbling across treasures that are exclusive to us such as the Kolonist’s wines from the Ukraine, where the Odessa Black wine is imported from, a real favorite with all of our clients. We are passionate about our wines and believe the way to get maximum pleasure from each wine is to understand how each wine can complement the meals that you create, which wines match with which foods and why. For this reason, whenever you purchase wine from us, you will always receive full tasting notes and suggestions for each wine on food pairing and menu ideas. In addition to importing delicious wines, we also • Run Corporate hospitality events • Conference / team building activities • Host wine tasting parties • Wine tasting workshops • Wine tasting evenings These events range from private wine tasting parties and hosted wine tasting games, to fundraising events and corporate hospitality. Wine is a perfect way to bring people together... If you are looking for that inspiration to get customers through your door we can arrange a portfolio of activities that you could offer on selected evenings / days at very attractive ticket prices encouraging customers to stay and make a dinner reservation for those of you who run restaurants or to encourage customers to stay and peruse your goods / services if you are a retailer.

Don't buy Lafite or Latour 09...buy Mouton 09 -
5th July 2010
Without the investment angle of the wine business over the last two
decades the financial growth of the industry wouldn't be half of
what it is now. Therefore the example of wines like Lafite 2000
priced at around 20k a case trade much less frequently than say the
likes of Mouton 2008 (5k) or anything or that price band. If there
are 18,000 cases of Lafite 2009 and they are priced at 13k per case,
then how many companies and individuals will be willing to buy into
it? The price is already falling in Liv-ex and in certain
circumstances I have seen bids as low as 8k for a case of Lafite 09... |

Cult Wines Ltd
& WineInvestment.org Testimonials - 25th March 2010 Thanks to Tom and the team for reserving my allocation of 2009 Bordeaux En Primeur. No one will do it right now and securing the first tranch at the best possible price was important to me. It was very flexible and helpful to arrange the reservation contract of Latour 09, Lafite 09 and Mouton 09. I will look forward to a big response from the market when they are released. Mr J Honigsfeld I have just purchased a fund portfolio made up of 2009 Bordeaux. One of the only companies to secure it in advance with help from Ditton Wine Traders. I was looked after very well from the outset and look forward to a prosperous career with them. I also would mention that the online website support is extremely helpful with wineinvestment.org and I have learnt an awful lot from it very quickly. Mr R Clarkson I went to the Cult Wines team with a large portfolio of Bordeaux and some Australian which I was not keen on. They were very quick in organising a sale of my wine which they did free of charge given that I was re-investing with them. I now have a very good selection of Bordeaux such as Lafite and Mouton Rothschild which have proved very productive over a short period of time. They have really helped me gain a proper experience with this market and I appreciate all their help. Mr J Nicholls... Read more testimonials here |

Wine Investment Performance Since
2000 -
23rd November 2009 By Thomas Gearing (C.O.O) - Cult Wines Ltd - http://www.cultwinesltd.com Details taken from the Guardians article: How Alternative Investments Have Performed Since 2000 http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2009/nov/21/alternative-investments-performance-2000 Up until a few years ago the Fine Wine market was a virtual unknown to most investors except those collectors who used wines’ increasing value to fund further purchases. In the last 10 years those who had previously put their money into stocks, bonds, gold and oil have turned to wine. In the period of ‘31 December 1999 and 31 October 2009 there was a 138% return’ on the Fine Wine Investables index and this has lead journalists to label Fine Wine as ‘the best investment of the decade’...

Wine Investment Beats Recession -
29th July 2009 By William Cohen - http://www.wineinvestment.org A combination of a superb futures season for 2009 has meant that the fine wine investment is mentioned everywhere from TV to your free newspapers left on empty tube seats. Is this the reality of the market? In a word, Yes! In April of this year we had the option to buy 2008 futures of Bordeaux. Producers put their heads together and cleverly put prices down by 30% to begin with, meaning that like an auction excitement grew quickly and buying increased dramatically...

Wine Investment? -
25th March 2009 By William Cohen - http://www.wineinvestment.org The latest market reports released in February 2009 shows that the market has increased in buying power by 128% while the prices have lowered for the very best Bordeaux wines. Given that fine wine is a medium to long term investment, it seems that now is the best time for any investor to become involved in this market. From the BBC at Christmas, to the Financial Times in recent weeks, our market has been praised for being an investor’s refuge. The simple yet confident structure creates new stronger portfolios every day and makes other known investments look extremely weak in comparison… Read full article here |

Choices In The Market
-
19th December 2008 By William Cohen - http://www.wineinvestment.org The month of November shows stability in the fine wine market, since the large drop in prices in September and October. Compared to last year, trade has increased by 56% with US and European becoming more active buyers as sterling weakens. Although fine wine prices continue to slide, buyers remain outnumbered by sellers. Wine has been purchased wines at advantageous prices, in some cases the lowest seen since early 2007. The economic downturn has been reflected in the value of the Fine Wine Index shows a 20% below its all-time peak had reached last summer. Unfortunately investors have seen the value of their stocks sink to an 18-month low following the stock market and bank crisis. Although until October wine had remained untouched by the economic crisis. Some classy vintages have lost as much as 25% of their value in one month alone... Read full article here |

Lafite's Mystique Lures Wine Bidders to Spend $1.82
Million -
19th December 2008 By William Cohen - http://www.wineinvestment.org Due to the economic meltdown, many bidders thought financial jitters would mean softer prices. However a top-quality, single- owner collection, mostly consisted of first-growth Bordeaux reds and Burgund Domaine de la Romanee Conti, all were purchased on release. Most were in original wooden cases and perfectly stored, which command a premium. One of the eye-opening auction trends of the past two years has been the rise of the Lafite brand, especially in Asia. Prices of older vintages are double the price of those in Bordeaux first. Nobody saw this coming when a particular demographic attacks a specific type of wine, i.e. Lafite''... Read full article here |

| Credit crunch
squeezes wines - 1st December 2008 By James Barter-May - http://www.wineinvestment.org Due to the credit crunch property and stock market prices have fallen considerably. Also this week the international art market appeared to crumble and now sales of wine, are finally feeling the full effect of the credit crunch, with the biggest fall in prices for seven years, down 12.4 per cent in October, according to the Wine index. Although for some time wine sales was supposed to be a safe haven for investors. Every modern vintage came under pressure last month, but the most expensive Bordeaux first growths from 2005 have seen the biggest fall, with prices collapsing 25 per cent from the peak of the market in August. The relative large price drop is a mirrored pattern during the recession of the early 1990s. After the Asian crises of 1997 and 1998, wine prices corrected by 25 to 30 per cent...

to buy cheap Bordeaux 2005 - 30th November 2008 By Oliver Charles Gearing - http://www.cultwinesltd.com The prices on Bordeaux 2005s are being reduced around the world. The buyers are trading down in response to the financial crisis. However merchants are advising owners to hold onto their stock as prices are not going to fall any further. As suggested by a merchant, there has definitely been a pause with the 2005 first growths. In September and October months "we saw bottle sales far more than case sales". A chairman of a retailer commented that "Prices have not yet had time to adjust to the market conditions, and we anticipate prices will go down"... Read full article here |

| Sommeliers look at their best
options - 29th November 2008 By Oliver Charles Gearing - http://www.cultwinesltd.com As the number of wine funds grows, who better to advise on purchases than those who know wine best. Below are the comments made by some of the well known and leading sommeliers. Domaine Roulot Meursault Les Luchets, 1996 - A mineral-driven, with an oak background is delicious, pure and so clean. "This winemaker doesn't get enough respect". Château de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape, 1999 - It’s not as alcohol-driven as a California cabernet; it’s more balanced, but still remains powerful and rich. A one that is worth keeping an eye on. Antica Terra Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, 2006. Produced in Oregon seen as a top-tier wine in three or four year’s time. A sommelier describes this wine as a "pedigree of the winemaker"...
