Rare wine has fascinated investors for centuries. Lifelong experience in this field is of great importance. Investing in wine is very complex, but done right, it can prove to be a very lucrative business. Prices for rare wines have increased by over 100% in recent years. This demand is expected to increase even further as more wine lovers develop in the Asian region. The global wine market size was USD 364.25 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 444.93 billion by 2027. During this forecast period, the CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is 6.06%. 
 
Corked wine continues to mature after bottling and benefits from an additional price increase over time due to a higher intrinsic value. 
 
Putting a Rare Wine portfolio together is a journey that never really ends. However, what the right composition should look like is just the beginning. It is important to stay informed about the latest trends in order to make appropriate sales and additions to our selection. 
 
Key factors for wine as an investment: 
 
Region 
Choosing the right portfolio mix is similar to choosing on the stock market. We should avoid putting all our eggs in one basket and therefore diversify our portfolio across different wine regions. To this end, we should always keep a few classics from regions such as Piedmont, Tuscany, Bordeaux and Champagne in the portfolio. But it is also important to diversify not only across regions but also across countries and to include wines from Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and Austria, for example. 
 
Quality 
The first step towards success has been taken with the selection of wine regions for our portfolio. Now comes the main part of the research. Not every producer within these selected regions maintains the same quality standards. It is estimated that only 0.1% of the world's wine production reaches investment quality. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to select award-winning wines from top producers. 
 
Storage 
It is not enough to store carefully selected wines in an ordinary cellar if you expect serious returns. The importance of professional storage of wine is the key requirement to obtain world-renowned quality labels. Many auction houses won't even accept the wine if they feel that the storage requirements have not been met.
