Re: Wines for Investment

Haha... I thought the Giaconda was a good price! Should have known better but I'm an impulse buyer... I do know my Chateau Montrose 2010 purchase was an excellent price however!

Re: Wines for Investment

I like the idea of buying more than you need of a great vintage and drinking some and if possible sell the rest for a profit. That is what I do in an unstructured way now. Has anyone "invested" into Tyrrells wine club wine futures? If so has it been worthwhile, they say they have been doin...

If you stick to the blue chips wines and vintages or blue chip stocks over time you should make money (don't quote me though, I'm not a qualified financial planner!!!). If however you wa...

Re: Wines for Investment

I've built my collection (/hoarding) up via Dan Murphy's and other retailers but I would like to start using Langtons to pick up some of the good vintages at a decent...
