Is fine wine investment a real alternative?
Over the last twenty years or so there has been a great deal of interest in alternative investments with wine one of the more prominent additions to the conversation. But is wine investment really a reliable way to invest your money or is it a very specialised market to be wary of?
A quick look on the internet to see how many companies will actually help you to invest into wine and give you advice will show you how popular it is. In the eyes of some people it is seen as a hedge against falling markets and weak economies because fine wines will always attract interest from all corners of the globe. But do not just assume that wine prices go up and up because they don't and like any other investment arena there are trends which come and go - if you get these wrong you could be in trouble!
