WineFi provides solutions for investors seeking seamless and cost-effective exposure to fine wine as an asset class.
We combine cutting edge quantitative analysis with the expertise of our veteran investment committee to select the assets contained within our portfolios, to choose wines that have the highest likelihood of out-performing. We factor in multiple datapoints like including critic scores, aging potential, vintage, market trends, and price history.
We securely store the asset ‘in-bond’ at Coterie Vaults; a UK government approved, condition-controlled warehouse.
We offer access to diversified, expertly-curated portfolios of wine from as little as £3,000.
We can also build private collections of investment-grade wine for individual investors looking to own their portfolio outright.
We charge a flat sourcing fee of 10% (equivalent to 2% a year) that also covers the management, storage, and insurance of the wines for five years. If the wines are held for longer than that, additional storage and insurance fees are deducted “at cost” from the sales price of the assets. There are no hidden fees.
If you are building a private collection, then you are free to request a delivery at any time. If you co-invest alongside other investors via our syndicate, you cannot unilaterally choose to remove the wines from bond for personal consumption.
It varies. As a rule, investors should treat wine as a medium-long term investment, and anticipate a holding period of between 3-7 years.
You can invest in our syndicates from £3,000.
In the unlikely event that WineFi ceases trading, you still own the wine directly (if investing via a syndicate) or outright (if investing in a private portfolio). All wines are stored in segregated accounts within Coterie Vaults. We can even provide a third-party login for you to verify this.
