Why Invest?

Why Fine Wines?

A Pleasurable & Profitable Investment
Fine Wine is one of life's more civilised pleasures, but unlike some, it can provide both pleasure and profit.

Until recently, relatively few investors have been able to capitalise on the high investment returns produced by these wines, enhanced by favourable tax treatment of the profits, because they have no easily accessible means of monitoring prices and, most importantly, no guidance on when and where to sell.

Is Fine Wine a secure investment?

The nature of most investments is not without some financial risk, and prices can go down as well as up. As Fine Wine prices depend on the wines' increasing rarity, a wine portfolio must be regarded as a medium/long term (5 year minimum) investment. Historically, Fine Wines have over the last 10 years appreciated by approximately 12% per annum.

What makes an investment in Fine Wines even more attractive is the fact that you are not liable for tax on profits from your investment. As fine wine is regarded as a wasting asset and as such attracts no UK Capital Gains Tax.

Why should Fine Wine appreciate?

Both the varying weather conditions and the Appellation Contrôlée Authorities in Bordeaux combine to limit the quantity of Fine Wine that can be produced each year. Worldwide demand for the best wines from the top vintages inevitably causes the values of these wines to rise as they mature and are consumed.

To ensure the very best performance from your investment, you can rely on Magnum's intimate knowledge of the wine market and our constant monitoring of auction prices around the world.
