Rare Spirits
Wine has outperformed gold over the last 15 years. The best vintages from top producers appreciate as they age, with returns uncorrelated to traditional markets. And unlike most investments, you can drink the downside.
Wine Market Overview
Investment Regions
Not all wine is investment-grade. Focus on established regions with proven track records, transparent pricing, and liquid secondary markets.
Bordeaux
10.2% annualizedThe benchmark for investment wine. First Growths and classified estates with centuries of track record.
Burgundy
14.8% annualizedScarce, terroir-driven wines. DRC and top Cru producers command astronomical prices.
Champagne
8.4% annualizedPrestige cuvées from top houses. Longer aging potential than many realize.
Rare Whisky
12.1% annualizedSingle malt Scotch and Japanese whisky. Exploding collectible market.
Why Wine Works as an Investment
Consumption Drives Scarcity
Unlike gold, wine gets consumed. Each bottle drunk reduces supply, supporting prices of remaining inventory.
Quality Improves with Age
Top wines develop complexity over decades. A 2010 Bordeaux may peak in 2040, appreciating the entire time.
Terroir is Irreplaceable
You can't replicate DRC in Napa. Geographic scarcity provides moats that persist across generations.
Vintage Variation
Great vintages (2005, 2009, 2010, 2016) command premiums. Active markets reward expertise.
