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.

Best buys are not obvious. You have cheap access to Lafite 2003 (100 points) and others, but the nest buys are things like Cote Rotie 2003 (100 points) – a wine from Rhone which is one of the only investment wines from that area and is made in 1500 cases a year. It will never go bad and carries a pretty penny at auction. Belgium investors are heavily into Burgundy as an example and will buy these types like wild fire.
