Cheers: why wine may be a fine investment in 2023

Everything goes better with wine.

You Might Want To Raise A Glass To This Investment In 2023

Although 2022 was a tough year for traditional assets, at least one asset was still sparkling: investment-grade wine (light blue line) saw a 13.6% gain. And if you’re thinking that was just a flash in the pan, think again – it’s up 44.6% over the past five years. Intoxicating. But it makes sense: just like there’s a bottle that goes with every meal, wine has a way of pairing itself well to all kinds of market environments – even the really poor ones. Finding investments that don’t move in sync with traditional assets is key to creating a robust all-weather investment portfolio. Fine wine could be one of them: it tends to increase in value as it ages because of the limited supply produced each year which has to quench a growing global thirst.

Unfortunately, there is no wine-specific ETF to invest in, but there are some other good options. The [Wine Investment Fund](https://www.wineinvestmentfund.com/) lets you invest specifically in Bordeaux wines. And there’s the [Vini Sileo Vineyard Fund](https://vinito-capital-management.business.site/posts/5385677628107646734), if you’d prefer partly owning vineyards in France, Portugal, and Italy. Or you could use a wine-investing platform like [VinoVest](https://www.vinovest.co/), which sends you a questionnaire that allows it to build a wine portfolio tailored for you, then stores and insures your wine for an annual fee that starts at 2.85%. Lastly, you could always DIY and buy wines listed in the [Liv-ex Fine Wine 1000](https://www.liv-ex.com/news-insights/indices/liv-ex-fine-wine-1000-indices/) index. But be aware, you’ll have to organize the correct storage and insurance, and eventually find a buyer at an auction. So, don’t pour one out: it may be time to start investing in the precious liquid instead.
