None directly, but there are some scams involving wine investments. I'm quite sure plenty of legit ones too, just be sure to check out anyone you deal with.

Predominantly rising-bubble investing in bordelaise shite for selling on to the eejits in china who drink it mixed with coke.

Sounds a great business model to me.

Wine is for discovering, buying, treasuring and treating.

There's so many other assets classes miles more sensible to invest in. Hell, even Jeff Jones twisted tubes are a better bet! 🙂

EDIT: and I say that with a little collection with various wines that have gone form €30 to £50 in 4 yrs, but damn it IM GOING TO DRINK IT!!!!

Agreed. I would add in "inheriting" as an early stage of the above, though!

Such as the following;

Nicely cellared, and waiting for the right reason.

Not a penny was spent, Stoner! Had one of '81 a couple of years ago and it was astonishing.

Luckily, I feel a reason to crack a bottle of the '82 coming very, very soon. 😀

No, he was celebrated some months ago! (Photo to follow!)

This is something more dull to celebrate, but still worth celebrating. #golongonpaperclips
