Investing in En Primeur Wine

Published by at under Wine Books

Wine investing is not new, it has been going on for centuries. In more recent years (the last two centuries), government tax laws on alcoholic drinks have made buying wine a little more prohibitive to the investor who wants to keep them at home in his/her private cellar. Nevertheless, as usual, the market has found a way around this problem. You can avoid taxes and V.A.T. (Value Added Tax) by buying fine wine on Bond (also called wine Futures or En Primeur). This book covers a simple and effective way in which anybody coming into the fine wine investing market place can safely securely and successfully select, and invest in En Primeur Wine.

Customer Review: Don't waste your money!!!!!!

More than half this book is just advertising for the author's other products. Most of the rest of the book consists of some peculiar asset allocation theory (if you can even call it that) which has nothing to do with wine investing. There is a section with a bit of wine history and geography of Bordeaux. The section that actually deals with wine investing is small and fairly uninformative, definitely not worth the price of the book. The tidbit of tax information given is irrelevant for U.S. tax payers. Spend your money elsewhere!

Customer Review: I am a wine investor now ...

Hadn't really heard of wine investing before but as I have read and benefited from some of this authors books, I thought let me try. I got hold of bbr's notes and invested in 2004 Ch. Latour, 1er Cru Classé, 2004 Ch. Margaux, 1er Cru Classé, and 2004 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, Grand Cru Classé, Pessac-Léognan. I cant believe how easy it was. Now I am a wine investor. Next year I will see if I make 15% to 20% returns. This book made investing in the best wines for the greatest returns easy enough for me to do.
