Top 5 Wines for Investment via Vanquish Wine

Filed under: 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.

Poor growing seasons over the past three years, combined with what so many oenophiles claimed was an exceptional year for wine, the 2005 Bordeaux look better and better.

And according to Financial Times wine expert Jancis Robinson, the 2005s are good at both ends of the price spectrum. Robinson calls these wines "by far the greatest bordeaux vintage I have been lucky enough to taste." At a recent London tasting, the favorite first growth was the Chateau Margeaux. Chateau Haut-Brion and Latour followed closely behind.
