Invest in fine wine from 1€
Priced by the market, not by a broker
Fine wine has outlasted every currency it was ever bought with. Until now it sat behind five-figure minimums, auction rooms and a cellar of your own. WineFortune opens it up: buy into a professionally managed fine wine fund from 1€, or choose your own bottles on the marketplace. Every holding is valued against Liv-ex, the wine trade's benchmark exchange.
- Registered by the Estonian Financial Supervision Authority
- Certified Liv-ex member
- Bonded storage, fully insured
Three ways to own fine wine
Investment Fund
Buy shares in a professionally managed fine wine portfolio from 1€. Our experts choose the bottles, you hold a slice of the whole cellar, and dividends follow the fund's annual performance.
Wine List membership
For people who would rather drink it than trade it. A monthly membership with access to exclusive fine wines at their perfect drinking window.
Marketplace
Buy and sell individual bottles and cases at live market prices. Your wine stays in bonded storage in your name, and it is yours to sell whenever you choose.
Your whole wine portfolio, in one view
Every share you hold and every bottle you own, valued against live Liv-ex market data. No spreadsheets, and no waiting for a quarterly statement to find out where you stand.
The lowest entry in fine wine investing
Fine wine investing has traditionally meant a five-figure cheque, a case at a time, bought at auction and stored at your own risk. We removed every one of those barriers.
Start from 1€
No minimum portfolio and no qualifying capital. One euro buys a real share of the fund.
No hidden fees
One fee structure, published in full. No entry charge, no exit penalty, no spread you were not told about.
Storage and insurance included
Every bottle sits in bonded storage at the right temperature and humidity, insured at market value.
Priced by Liv-ex, not by us
Valuations come from the wine trade's benchmark exchange, so the number you see is the number the market gives.
Sell when you want
List your holding on the marketplace and exit on your own timing. There is no lock-up period.
Why invest in fine wine?
Fine wine behaves differently to most of what sits in a portfolio. It gets drunk, so supply falls every year, while the number of people able to buy it keeps rising.
Fine wine
Scarcity does the work: every bottle opened makes the rest rarer. Low correlation to equities, and a physical asset you genuinely own.
Gold
A proven store of value, but it produces nothing and its supply grows with every year it is mined.
Art
Strong returns at the very top, but illiquid, opaquely priced and expensive to trade.
