Top 5 Wines for Investment via Vanquish Wine
As Wall Street continues to disappoint you may find yourself seeking alternative money-making strategies as opposed to stocks and bonds. While wine is obviously fine for enjoyment it can also act as a unique investment option. It's important to note that putting your money on fine wine does not incur a capital gains tax since it is considered a 'wasting asset' only expected to last fifty years. Your best bet is a first growth from the Bordeaux region and Vanquish Wine, a bespoke wine service for private clients, suggests these top five: - Chateau Petrus
- Chateau Margaux
- Chateau Latour
- Chateau Mouton Rothschild
- Chateau Lafite
Sounds like a bottle in the hand is better than a buck in the market.

This is not a very provocative or original list of labels to buy for investment purposes.

Yet the bottle shown above, a Cheval Blanc, is not a first growth. Neither was Petrus classified in 1855.
