If you are looking for a sure investment you will find that investing in wine is still one of the most profitable and successful investments on the market. Unlike other investments wine can only appreciate in price, the question is how much is dependent on what wine you choose. Investing in wine has been around even before the stock market and will surely go on even longer. You will find that if you go for a Bordeaux wine you won’t go wrong, though keep in mind that only about 50 of the 4000 wine choices are ideal investments. Go for a more stable wine and you will find that you will be left more than satisfied with your choice. With over 200 years in the standing the Bordeaux wine has taken over the market.
Bordeaux wine can be on the high end of the market, if you are looking for a cheaper alternative there are other wines available to choose from. Others which are quickly gaining popularity are the French Burgundy and French Champagne. Though Bordeaux takes up over 90% of the market there are others which can be found that are satisfactory and make a good investment.
Once you’ve purchased your wine investment, of course after intensive research and review of the market and critiques, you need to make sure that you prepare proper storage for it. You will have to make sure that your wine is properly stored for the duration of your ownership until it matures. This is essential if you want to cash in on your investment. For great tasting wine and high return make sure that your wine has its own place where there are no intense smells, and well balanced moisture.
Another thing to think about is the way the wine is placed. Do not under any circumstances leave it in the crates, or at least standing straight up. The wine should be slightly tilted so the cork is moistened by the wine. This will ensure that it doesn’t dry up. Along with the humidity in the space where you store your wine make sure that you control the temperature. It shouldn’t be too hot nor too cold. A nice cool temperature is ideal, it’s best to keep the wine in a special wine cellar or cooler to ensure that the temperature does not fluctuate. This is your investment and like any other you need to take care of it.
Overall, there is no stopping your wine investment. Even with the financial problems throughout the world wine is still growing as an investment and people are still seeking it. With each bottle opened the price goes up. So keep that in mind and get started with your investment now before the prices go up yet again.
