CWI February wine news letter

Welcome to the Cru Wine Investment 

February 2016 Investment update

Fun Fact of the Month

“Did you know that Château Margaux had been on sale for two years, before Mister Mentzelopoulos bought the estate for 72 million francs (€11 million) in 1976. It is currently valued at +1.2 billion euros”

Monthly update

Dear reader,

Market update:

The fine wine index had an excellent month of February with +0.9%. Cru Wine Investment did particularly well with a performance of +3.4%.

In the current uncertain financial markets, fine wine has a strong positive influence on your expected investment returns. Given its low correlation with equities, it complements well a portfolio mixed with equities and bonds. We believe that a postition of 5-10% of your investment in fine wine is adequate.  

Cru Wine Investment update:

• We had a fantastic presentation and wine tasting, with a great attendance at Case Tua in Monaco. Cru Wine Investment sends its particular thanks to David Gregory from EFG Bank for the invitation. 
• Our annual investor tour in Bordeaux has been finalised and we are happily welcoming a large number of our investors. The event will involve gastronomic lunches, private visits at several top Châteaux and much more.
• We are welcoming Paul Schmit, a wine passionate who will write monthly on the jewels he has found in his 40 years of experience tasting, visiting and promoting wine in France.
