Two primary factors drive returns in the fine wine market: maturity and scarcity.
Most fine wine takes 7 to 10+ years to mature. That means a 9-year-old wine will usually be more valuable than a 2-year-old version of the same wine. (It should taste better, too!) clients who buy early and hold their wine for a long time should see handsome returns.
There’s also a finite supply of investment-grade wine. Once a vintage is bottled, that’s it. No more can be made. As other people drink the wine, the remaining bottles become rarer and more expensive.
