How Can the Bordeaux Wine Company Help you to Invest in Wine

May 14, 2010 - PRLog -- London, UK -- Any wine lover will tell you that wine is to be drunk and enjoyed. The Bordeaux Wine Company ( http://www.bordeauxwinecompany.com ) certainly agree for the most part, but even the most romantic wine lover will tell you that the best wines now command the same respect and admiration as works of art. Combining business with pleasure can be a fine balance but with wine they feel it’s a worthwhile venture, one they enjoy greatly and you can too!

Building a Portfolio:
Stock picking is as important in fine wine investment as in any other. Blanket investment in the best Châteaux or best vintages will not always yield the desired returns. It is very important to know which wines to buy and which to sell. BWC ( http://www.bordeauxwinecompany.com ) uses relative pricing, industry supplied information, release strategies and other factors to determine trade decisions.

Whilst our selections are focused on First-growth Bordeaux, they can at times be complemented by second, third, fourth and even fifth growth wines.

Access to Rare Stock:
We have established a network of negociants, merchants and traders throughout UK and Europe. These relationships give us the opportunity to secure and dispose of stock in as cost-efficient manner as possible.

Quality Control:
The unfortunate reality is that the wine industry, like so many other luxury goods, is subject to counterfeit and the supply of inferior stock. To combat this we insist all our suppliers provide us with provenance and verification of all stock. All our stock is subject to this process. Almost all the wines we trade are OWC (Original Wooden Cases).

Logistics, Storage and Insurance:
All our wines are transported by and stored at London City Bond’s Vinotheque warehouse in Burton-On-Trent. Established since 1870 LCB is a Revenue & Customs regulated bonded warehouse and has the ideal climate and conditions for wine storage, ensuring that our clients wine are able to mature properly.

Re-Sales:
BWC ( http://www.bordeauxwinecompany.com ) has the network of contacts throughout the UK and Europe to arrange the re-sale of your wines at a moment’s notice. Ordinarily, we advise our clients when to take profits or when we believe optimal yields have been achieved. Naturally, care and attention is taken in order to ensure that best prices are achieved.

Structuring your Investment:
How your portfolio is structured depends greatly on the size of your traditional investment portfolio and your net worth. Initial investment and the length of term of the hold are very important as it will determine what we can recommend to you. BWC ( http://www.bordeauxwinecompany.com ) generally advises new clients to dip their toe in the market with anything from £4,000 to £25,000 for individual portfolio and £50,000 to £250,000 for an independent fund or a collective investment portfolio.

On-going Management and Communication:
BWC take an active approach to maintaining the balance of your portfolio(s). We provide annual valuations of stock and monthly updates and recommendations through a dedicated Account Manager. This will provide you with not only an up-date on market value and new wines on offer but also an insight into the market and market forces. Additionally, we are best placed to help clients take advantage of opportunities as and when they arise. This value added service tends to be greatly appreciated by our clients.
