As the world stock market meltdowns, investment of fine wines such as “99 Haut-Brion” and “2000 Mouton-Rothschild” could not be at a better time. The vintages are housed in climate-controlled warehouses. As the day goes by, the wines get tastier and pricier. An investment in fines wines listed, has proven to quadruple over an eight year period.

Over the time fine wine return was about 15 per cent a year, outperforming besting stocks, bonds and real estate. During the recession, such as the 1970s, fine wine outperformed other asset classes.
Investment in fine wine market does not closely correlate with the financial market. Fine Wine Index, tracks the secondary market for 100 top wines, which equates to 42.2 per cent return.
