The asset class

Why fine wine belongs in your portfolio.

Fine wine is one of the few asset classes that is simultaneously scarce, consumable, and globally traded. As production is fixed and bottles are consumed, supply shrinks, driving prices upward over time.

Fine wine has performed better than gold and diamonds over the past 100 years. It stays stable through market fluctuations, making it an ideal complement to equities.

Common questions

Everything you need to know about wine investing.

How much do I need to start?

Vinovest requires a minimum of $5,000. At this level we build a diversified fine wine portfolio selected to your risk profile. Larger portfolios unlock older vintages and ultra-premium labels.

Do I need to know anything about wine?

Not at all. Our team of Master Sommeliers and data scientists handles all sourcing, authentication, and portfolio management. Your only job is to decide your investment goals.

Where is my wine stored, and is it insured?

Your wine is held in bonded, climate-controlled warehouses in the UK, France, and the US, the same facilities used by the world's top châteaux. Every bottle is fully insured against damage, loss, and fraud.

How do returns work? When do I get paid?

Returns are realised when your wine is sold on the secondary market: Liv-ex, auction houses, and private buyers. You can request a sale at any time, or have your wine delivered. Average hold period is 4 to 10 years for optimal returns.

What wines does Vinovest invest in?

We focus on investment-grade fine wines: Bordeaux First Growths, Burgundy Grand Crus, Super Tuscans, and other premium labels with proven secondary-market liquidity.

Do I actually own the bottles?

You own your wine holdings 100%, held in your name and fully segregated from Vinovest's inventory. You can request physical delivery at any time. This is direct asset ownership, not a fund or synthetic exposure.
