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. Over a two week period from Lafite Rothschild 2008 being released, the price grew from £1500 to £3600 in the UK. This is an example of the best kind of return you can get from the market and why expert brokers are sometimes worth listening to.

If you were a high net worth investor who puts 10-30k into various platforms of investment, and had luckily bought multiple amounts of Lafite 2008, you would have doubled your money and left room spare for long term growth probably worth hundreds of percentage points.
