Unlike stock certificates and bonds, wine investors own a physical asset that they can see, feel, and drink. There is a certain satisfaction to being the sole owner of an investment that you can sell, give as a gift, or consume!

When wines reach maturity and approach optimum drinking, they become more desirable and therefore more valuable. The available wine of a certain vintage is consumed over time, thereby further exacerbating the demand/supply imbalance.

Furthermore unlike other more mainstream investments, this asset class is not liable for profits tax. Legally, Fine Wine is regarded as a wasting asset and as such attracts no Capital Gains Tax. We encourage that you consult your tax advisor for up-to-date information in this regard.
