HARVESTING YOUR INVESTMENTS

Over the next few months thousands of workers will endure the endless, backbreaking task of picking, sorting, de-leafing, and de-stemming bunches of grapes. Their hard work will reap someone financial gain, however it is unlikely to be them - unless they invest in what they pick.

Due to the unusually hot climate in the last 12 months, and the small production of the 2003 vintage, th is years harvest is expected to produce a bumper crop . Following such a fantastic vintage as the 2003, and having a large production, should be reflected in the opening prices, making this an opportunity to invest in the world's greatest wines at a reasonable cost.  The 2002's were in-expensive and have returned higher than average profits.  There has therefore been no better time for investors to look to spread the risk of their investment portfolios, and turn to fine wine as a credible alternative investment opportunity.

Experts have been exploiting the wine market for hundreds of years. With a proven track record of providing a consistent, low risk, high yielding, tax free, average return of more than 19% per annum for the last 25 years, investing in Fine Wines has proven to be both pleasurable and profitable.

The Bordeaux wines are the most stable of all the wine investment markets, consistently outperforming all other forms of recognised investment. It has remained the steadiest form of investment, generally unaffected by recession, interest rate changes and stock market fluctuations. Fine Wine offers many advantages over other investments - such as unit trusts, life assurance, investment bonds and equities - as it benefits from being stable, easily realisable, consumable, low risk and portable. 

Fine Wines are free of both Capital Gains and Income Taxes.  Classed as a wasting asset, wine is not charged for Capital Gains; likewise wine is not an income bearing investment and therefore free from Income Tax.  They are just drinking wines and like the Chardonnay or Merlot you would buy from your local wine merchant, they just happen to be the best drinking wines on Earth.

Most fine wine drinkers do not pay for the majority of their Claret. They turn their cellars for profit, which they take in wine. For example those who had invested £820 in May 2003 on a case of Chateau Latour 2002 would see a 50% rise in their investments which currently stands at circa £1,230.
