What kind of wine is worth collecting?

Lafite Bordeaux (there is a report about it below) At this time, there are not many things better than wine, especially from the perspective of investment. In 20 10, Liv-Ex fine wine 50, which tracks the prices of top bordeaux wineries 10 in the latest year, rose by 57%, outperforming the standard & poor's 500 index and soaring gold price by 3 1%. As is often the case with works of art and luxury goods, the motivation for wine to perform well comes from China. China's newly rich bought a large number of top Bordeaux wines, which led to record high prices. Nick Pegna, sales director of Berry Bros in Hong Kong, said that some people have never collected wine before, but now they are flocking to the market and starting to buy and drink high-end wines to raise their awareness. You might as well consider the fact that, according to Oena, Lafite 2008 vintage wine entered the vintage wine market in May 2009-it is called vintage wine because the wine you buy now will take almost two years to receive, and the price at that time was about $3,399 per case. He went on to say that last Friday, his company sold three cases of the same wine to a Hong Kong collector at a price of $24,395 per case, which was 6 18% higher than just 20 months ago. Take a casual look at wine-searcher.com, a wine search website, and you will find similar quotations from other wine companies around the world. Part of the reason for the price increase is that Lafite Winery designed a special wine bottle for 2008, and the bottle body has a relief of chinese numerals "Eight". After the bottle design was announced, China buyers immediately pushed the already high price to a new height. Then, will the price of 20 1 1 bordeaux wine continue to rise? All eyes are once again focused on Asia. On October 22nd, 65438/kloc-0, Sotheby's will hold an auction of Andrew Lloyd Webber's personal collections in Hong Kong. People have high expectations for this auction. The composer's collection includes 747 kinds of Bordeaux and Burgundy wines, and his decision to auction in Hong Kong proves once again that this emerging world famous wine capital is by no means empty: last year, top auction houses sold more famous wines in Hong Kong than new york and London combined. Wine experts said that the more important basis for evaluating the market trend of wine will be the sales of Bordeaux wine in 20 10. People have begun to say that the 20 10 vintage will have excellent quality-last summer, Bordeaux witnessed the perfect weather for wine making. However, the initial assessment will not come out until three months later. Here is a warning: those who specialize in wine investment will warn investors not to take past performance too seriously. Wine, like stocks, is not profitable until it is sold. Edward Wright, vice president of Premium Liquid Assets in Hong Kong, who prepares famous wines worth more than $39 million for investors, said that the price of wine has been rising steadily in the past year. However, unless you sell your wine and pocket the profits, there will be no return. Wright advised those who are interested in entering the market to take a long view. You can't think that investing in wine is a quick way to make money,' he said. If you play for three or five years, the basic situation of the market is still very good. He added that top wineries have no plans to increase production, but the demand from buyers in China is increasing. Of course, in addition to adding value, we can also pursue real value. Berry Bros sold more than $654.38+55 billion of vintage wine last year. Oena, sales director of Berry Bros, said that besides a few wineries popular with buyers, such as Lafite, Mouton and Margot, there are some valuable varieties on the market. An example is wine produced in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The value of these wines is bound to increase, because they have entered the most suitable drinking period. He said that it is the best time to drink now, and the number of people entering the market will not be much, because all the wine fans drink by themselves. Garib, managing director of Bordeaux Index, a London-based wine merchant, suggested that people should pay attention to the products of top brands with bad vintage or second-rate wineries with good vintage. According to him, the reason is that many wine fans will use the top products of second-rate wineries to satisfy their appetite for excellent wines without having to bear the high price of Lafite's grade; On the other hand, those who intend to show off their wealth by drinking Lafite may aim at the cheapest vintage, thus creating a demand for low-quality vintage. I call this phenomenon the "crystal champagne effect", he said. If you buy a drink, people will choose the cheapest one. "Crystal Champagne" here refers to the high-priced champagne brewed by Louis Radell (about $250 to $300 per bottle), which has been very popular in the hip-hop art world in the past ten years.
