Buying wine
Buying wine for the first time can be confusing, especially if you are new to the market or you don't have access to knowledgable and experienced advice. We aim to provide a service to broaden your knowledge and enhance your confidence when purchasing fine wine
Our 3-step wine selection process
At Moncharm we use data from Liv-Ex, a wine trading platform along with a 3-step wine selection process to shortlist the most collectable wines. And from those, which are most likely to increase their value with age.
1.
Brand Recognition
Most proprietors of the chateaux have made it their life long goal to increase awareness in their well established brands. For collectors, exclusivity and prestige fuels demand.
2.
Vintage
There is no getting around the fact that some vintage wines simply cost more than others. Mythical vintages are typically expensive, and vintages benefitting from favourable harvest conditions always tend to attract higher prices.
Even the best wine growers can be beaten by the climate, so make sure your wine has a high score from an industry recognised critic. These factors affect the reputation of a certain vintage and will often influence the price of a wine more than the actual taste and quality.
3.
Demand
Global demand for fine wine continues to grow as more collectors learn about the peaks and troughs that can be experienced while their asset reacts to various trends. Due to the finite nature of supply, wine becomes a rarer commodity as time continues to pass, whilst the number of potential new wine buyers, drinkers and enthusiasts increases.
Fine and rare wines are a commodity like no other and, with Moncharm’s guidance, you’ll be able to build up a portfolio of the most collectable wines from the very finest vintages that are most likely to increase in quality and value over time.
We want our clients to enjoy the kudos attached to collecting fine wines, so whether you are new to the wine market, expanding your current portfolio, or maintaining your existing collection, our enthusiastic team here can help.
