• How do I sell my wine?

  • When it comes to selling your wine there are a few options available. Many auction houses now offer wine and whisky sales, with varying degrees of professionalism and expertise, our advise is to consult a specialist before consigning. Another option for private sellers is to sell directly to a licensed retailer or broker. However it is illegal for someone without an alcohol license to sell directly to a private buyer.

• How to value wine?

  • Wine value is determined by several factors which are not always easy to quantify, however, broadly speaking value is determined by factors that can be universally applied across other asset classes: Scarcity, supply and demand, reputation (which can be long-standing or newly found), prestige and condition.

• How to determine wine value

  • Whilst many references can be found for pricing individual bottles online, these are often wildly inaccurate or, given the volatile nature of the fine wine market, simply out of date. To get an accurate valuation you should always consult an experienced professional.

• How much does wine go up in value?

  • The fine wine market has experienced unprecedented growth during the last twenty years, driven by demand across the world for the finest and most prestigious wines. However, it should also be noted that growth is by no means a given and wines can fall in value as well as rise. If you are looking to invest in wine, consult a professional you can trust and always look for transparency. 

​

• Does wine increase in value?

  • An increase in the value of a wine is strongly linked to the desirability and quality of the wine in question and the rate of increase (or decrease) of an individual wine's value is notoriously difficult to predict. However fine wine is now recognized as a genuine investment opportunity and many merchants and brokers offer investment opportunities and portfolios. Before investing in wine, take the advice of established professionals.
