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. Over the past three decades, fine wine has demonstrated itself to be one of the top-performing assets, achieving a remarkable compound annual growth rate of 10%. 
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 was valued at USD 339.53 Billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 456.76 Billion by 2028. 
 
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.

Considering the low production volume of only about 500 cases per vintage, it is not surprising that interested parties have to sign up for the waiting list of Screaming Eagle many years in advance to secure, at best, a right of first refusal for the most famous fine wine of Napa Valley. 
 
Coupled with the 100/100 point rating from the most respected wine critic Robert Parker Wine Advocate, and&nbsp;advancing global warming, it is apparent even to inexperienced wine investors that the latest 2018 vintage is an absolute rarity. 
 
Consequently, the Screaming Eagle 2018 has generated a return of 35.52 % since its release in March 2021. Compared to the benchmark 2012 vintage, awarded 100/100 points by Robert Parker Wine Advocate and recorded a five-year performance of 57.81%, investors can expect future gains from the 2018 vintage and add a touch of Hollywood to their portfolio. 
 
In Hollywood, Screaming Eagle can be found on the wine lists of the most famous restaurants and is held in high esteem by the stars and starlets. At least among those who are lucky enough to have already enjoyed it.

The price of €45,000 includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of €7,950. €37,050 can be allocated to the bottles.
