Investing in wine is fun, but can also produce some serious returns. At BWI we have qualified financial services professionals, giving you the best investment advice and support.

Here is an overview with which to start:

Investment returns and taxes
• Wine has a demonstrable record of growth in value
• Wine values are less volatile than other forms of investment, barring cash deposits
• There are no capital gains or income taxes
• Wine, as an investment, has certain unique features:
• A finite, and therefore limited, quantity
• A reducing supply (once it is being drunk)
• It has become an ‘international currency’. significantly enhancing the re-sale value
• A 200 year price history

Storage
• Wine are stored in optimum conditions in a bonded warehouse
• There is added security via third party checks on private client holdings
• Whilst in bond the wines are fully insured (at full replacement value)
• No duty or VAT is incurred while they are in bond

General points
• You can invest as little as £1,000 up to whatever figure you want – we give the same excellent service and advice for £1,000 as we do for larger investments
• Wine is a readily realisable asset, but to achieve reasonable returns you should look to a minimum period of three to five years
