Get StartedThe wealthy have always known the value of a well-stocked cellar: today, 1 out of every 4 high-net-worth individuals own a collection of fine wine.
People enjoy drinking wine and whiskey, and always have. These are products that have symbolized luxury, prosperity, and celebration for centuries.
Wine and whiskey are real, physical goods, backed by insurance. Unlike purely financial instruments, they can't cease to exist in market crashes, bankruptcies, or collapses.
Fine wine and whiskey reward patience: their flavor and depth naturally improve with age, driving up their value over time.
Once a vintage is gone, it's gone—you can't make a 1982 Bordeaux in 2025, after all. This naturally drives up value—and price—as bottles are consumed.
When traditional markets fall, fine wine has historically stayed stable, making it an excellent diversifier. In fact, fine wine has only a third of the volatility of the S&P 500.
Over the past 30 years, fine wine has achieved 10.6% annualized returns.
Wineries produce their vintages for the year and offer them for sale, usually to merchants. Top-tier wines may not even be made available to the general public at all, instead offered only to select buyers—typically long-established, loyal partners—on a pre-negotiated allocation list.
Distilleries produce whiskey in large quantities and store them in barrels known as casks. Once a cask is filled, it remains under the distillery's care or in bonded warehouses until it has aged enough to reach peak value and quality.
