  • Price Momentum:
    Our ‘Price Momentum’ indicator shows the weighted price performance over the past 12 months.

Where a wine has gone up significantly in value we will alert you with a ‘Sell Now’ link to help you take profits. You control your portfolio and can sell wine at any time. On the Cru Wine Portfolio you are free to list wines for sale at any price you like. As they sell, you will be credited with Account Credit, which you can use either to buy more wine or to cash out.

Selling Wines / Realising Gains

Charges

There are no subscription fees for using the Cru Wine Portfolio. Your account is free to set up. We don’t charge commission when you buy wines. If you sell your wines through us we take a standard selling commission, which varies according to the level of assets you have.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have tried to answer the most common questions here, but please contact us for more details at trade@cruworldwine.com.


How do I apply?

You can start building a fine wine portfolio today. You don’t need specialist knowledge or training, simply create a free trading account.


How do I follow the progress of my investment?

Your portfolio is valued in real time using independent marks provided by the internationally respected Liv-ex.com exchange.


Your portfolio performance can be viewed at https://eu.cruworldwine.com/investment and you will receive monthly updates with your fine wine portfolio valuation.


How will I realise the value of my investment?

Like private equity or property, fine wine is best viewed as a patient investment. But our platform enables you to trade in and out as often as you like. Once your wine has reached your target exit price you can set it for sale at your chosen price.


When you sell wines through the platform your account is immediately credited with the net proceeds, which you can either use against future purchases or you can cash out. You will receive a cash transfer within 30 days of sale.


Is there someone to help me manage my Portfolio?

Cru retains a team of highly trained and knowledgeable fine wine account managers in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Singapore and Russia. We also travel to most of the world’s financial cities to present research and meet clients. Cru is not authorised to provide formal investment advice, but our team of advisors will help structure your portfolio optimally for long-term price appreciation.


What are the fees?

There are no subscription fees to use the Cru platform. All our personal advice and tools are free of charge, and there is no commission on purchasing wines. There is a small fee to cover the cost of storage (which we pass on at cost price), but this fee is much lower than you would pay to store other commodities, such as gold. We take a standard selling commission, which varies according to the level of assets you have.


Is investing in fine wine safe?

The security of your assets is of paramount importance to us, all wine stored with Cru is kept in secure conditions in one of our three storage facilities. You can see the location and status of all your wines at all times in your Account Management section. Cru cannot guarantee your wines will increase in value, but if you buy the best wines from the best vintages and show a little patience history suggests that you realise significant capital gains.


Are gains on wines taxable?

Cru is not authorised to offer formal tax advice. For UK investors the relevant HMRC legislation states that wine is a “chattel”, and therefore any deposal of less than £6,000 (January 2018) has no chargeable gain. Many UK investors also take advantage of the “wasting asset” exemption, where 100% of the gain is tax free if the wine is expected to last less than 50 years. But all investors should take appropriate advice from a regulated advisor on their own tax status.

  • 99pt Upgrade for 'white of the vintage' 2016 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc | Extremely Limited parcel 10% Below Release Price!

    With last Friday’s release of Jeb Dunnuck’s (formerly of the Wine Advocate) report on the 2016 Bordeaux vintage in bottle, there was one wine in particular that immediately stood out to us as one of the must-have wines of the vintage and unsurprisingly that wine is 2016 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc. With a stunning 99 point upgrade from Jeb, he also definitively declared it “The white of the vintage,” which is no small feat when compared to the likes of Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc and Haut Brion Blanc, the latter which was awarded the same score and which currently trades for nearly 10 times the price!

    And this extraordinarily complex and concentrated blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon, is still just a baby, as Decanter critic Jane Anson pointed out in her December report, “This is so young right now, which seems crazy to say for a white wine, I know. But at two years old it has hardly begun to gather us to its side, let alone reveal its secrets. This will clearly have plenty to show in a few years' time.” We have managed to snag a parcel at an unbelievable price of 10% below its initial release price, and considering its scores have only soared amongst critics upon their recent retastings, we suggest you act quickly!

Established in 1946, Guigal is one of the most historical and significant Domaines in the Northern Rhone, with founder Etienne Guigal having been credited as being one of the first winemakers to recognize the enormous potential of Cote-Rotie, where Guigal has since built their reputation upon the “Holy Trinity” of Northern Rhone special cuvees, La Mouline, La Landonne and La Turque, collectively referred to as “the La Las”.

  • Investment Opportunities in 8 Burgundy ‘Négociant’ Grand Crus (2017 Vintage) - Some Negociant wines offered at discount of over 50% to similar Domaine wines = Buying Opportunity

    • Great Burgundy wines are produced from top quality vineyards in excellent vintages. It does not matter what type of producer has their name on the label, provided they produce wines using the utmost skill and care. • Given the recent rise in prices for top Burgundy wines, we are urging clients to look for value in top “négociant” wines, especially those with top scores from Grand Cru vineyards (the highest classification) where “domaine” wines trade at much higher prices. • Négociant wines often trade at a discount to similarly scored ‘domaine’ wines. We see no real reason for this and feel that it is a market opportunity. • We have found 8 Grand Cru négociant wines from the heralded 2017 vintage with good scores which are priced at a discount (in some cases over 50%) to comparable domaine wines. • We believe that these wines could see significant outperformance over the next 3-5 wines as the price gap closes.

  • Ex-Cellars Release of mature Opus One | Extremely Limited quantities of The original Napa First Growth at VERY SHARP PRICES!

    "This Pauillac lookalike, made by the staff at Mouton Rothschild, is a beauty." Wine Advocate

    The original Napa First Growth, possessing genuine Bordelais Premiers Crus credentials, Opus One is a wine with few rivals.

    Few brands are more in demand upon release than the iconic Opus One; with steady and consistent increase in value with every vintage release. Due to their scarcity, back vintages are always highly sought-after with prices showing a steep appreciation curve correlating to bottle age, which is why this extremely limited Ex-Cellars release of the "impeccable" 2009 is such a rare opportunity. Likewise the 2012 is still available at an excellent price considering the steady growth that can be seen amongst comparably priced vintages with increasing bottle age (96pt 2010 trades at £1,550 / 95pt 2009 trades at £1,650).

    Both vintages are priced extremely sharply to the global market. With scores always occupying the high 90s and 100 points for the 2013, these are must-haves for collectors of blue-chip icons.

  • Greatest Ever Vintage... 97-point Guado al Tasso 2015 | The highest scoring vintage to date for one of the best value Super Tuscans on the market.

    "The 2015 is magnificent... arrestingly beautiful from the very first taste. I am struck by the wine's translucent color and overall level of finesse. Wow!" Antonio Galloni, Vinous

    2015 is heralded as one of Tuscany's greatest modern vintages, rivalling the legacy of the equally lauded 2010. A 'star performer' from the pantheon of overachievers in 2015 is this 97-point Guado al Tasso, the highest scoring vintage to date from leading wine publications Wine Advocate and Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

    A no-brainer for collectors and investors, especially given its abundantly reasonable price point. Matching the average score of its 2015 peers, Guado al Tasso offers immense value, particularly when compared to Ornellaia and Sassicaia (between 50-55% less), but even against stablemate Tignanello (up to 10% less). It is without doubt one of the best value 2015 Super Tuscan on the market.

  • 100-point Sassicaia 2016 | Over-subscribed New Vintage Release to get your hands on while you can!

    Easily the most eagerly-awaited Italian release of the year, there is nothing quite like Sassicaia. The anticipation for this latest release has been simmering for some time and with the release of Wine Advocate's perfect 100-point rating, that excitement has hit fever-pitch.

    Described as "a wine of soaring achievement," Monica Larner has stated in no uncertain terms that "the 2016 Sassicaia stands tall next to the epic 1985 vintage that set the ultimate benchmark for vino italiano." Sassicaia is one of the most consistently over-subscribed wines on the market and reliably sells out on release. Naturally, this means that once it hits the secondary market it's off to the races, gaining value at a surprising rate.

    The drinking window, and therefore the window for value appreciation, extends through to the midway point of the century and given the well-established pattern of returns for previous vintages, this is a no-brainer.

But you have to know where to look! • We screened 200 of the current Burgundy 2017 wines to find the “Top 25” highest score / lowest price wines. We were surprised to find so many undervalued wines still available. But these won’t stay on the market for much longer, and once sold they will be very difficult to find again at primary market prices. • All of these wines scored at least 93 points from a leading Burgundy Critic (Burghound, Wine Advocate, Vinous or Decanter). • The wines towards the top of the list are the most undervalued.

    • Rhône Valley wines have lagged the fine wine market for five years, but in last six months they have outperformed. European collectors’ interest in the Rhône Valley has grown recently for three reasons: 1. Three strong Rhône vintages in a row (2015, 2016 and 2017); 2. Jeb Dunnuck is now a vocal and credible independent ‘champion’ of Rhône wines . 3. Despite recent price rises, Rhône Valley wines are still significantly cheaper than similarly scored wines in other regions. • We screened 484 Rhône wines and came up with a Top 15 wines for 3 to 5-year price appreciation. Our selections are all: - 98 to 100 points by Wine Advocate; - Long remaining Drinking Window; and - Cheapest price for their score.

  • Is Top Burgundy Wine Still a Good Long-Term Investment? - A deep dive into super premium Burgundy pricing. Can the recent performance be sustained?

    • Burgundy has outperformed other wine regions over the past 5 years, rising 104% in value. • This appreciation raises questions about the sustainability of prices, and whether further price appreciation can be expected from here. • We analysed the top 80 Burgundy wines (by price) of the 2015 vintage. • We found that top Burgundy Wines have a number of characteristics which are supportive of their secondary market pricing. Most important are: 1. Global demand for Burgundy continues to grow. 2. Vineyard sizes and production are tiny versus other investment wines. 3. Burgundy is rarely re-sold once purchased. 4. Top Burgundy wines are long-lived. 5. Cost of carry (storage and insurance) for top Burgundy is negligible today. • We conclude that prices for top Burgundy are not unreasonable given the supply / demand imbalance, the long-dated and high-quality nature of the assets and the low cost of carry. We see no reason why top Burgundy will not continue its run of strong performance.

  • DIAMONDS IN THE ASHES: 7 Best Picks from Bordeaux En Primeur 2017 - Analysis based on Regression Curves of Most Undervalued Wines

    • The Bordeaux 2017 en primeur campaign was patchy. Sensibly priced wines sold well, but aggressively priced names were rejected by collectors who are ever more aware of secondary market pricing. • With almost all 2017 wines now released, we have analysed the market to identify the ‘must buys’ of 2017. We have uncovered 7 wines which were released at significant discounts to our new ‘fair value’ calculation. • We are recommending Lafite, Lynch Bages, Montrose, La Mondotte, Leoville Barton, Beychevelle and Talbot as representing the best value of the 376 wines we analysed. • The best price performances are likely to come from Lafite, La Mondotte and Beychevelle. • The analysis below uses our new ‘Value Comparison’ graphs which are now available on all product pages under the tab “Value Comparison”.

    In recent note recommending the 100 point RP Haut-Brion 2015, we presented analysis showing how we expected the 2015 to perform given where the 100 point Haut-Brion 1989 was currently trading. That note, published on 21st May 2018, used £19,000 as the Market Price for Haut-Brion 1989. But at the end of last week the 1989 traded up to £25,000 for 12x75cl on the Liv-ex exchange - a rise of 32% in just two weeks. Based on the new current price (£25,000) for Haut-Brion 1989 we are revising up our Target Price for Haut-Brion 2015 to £21,500 (6x75cl) in 2044 (when the 2015 will be as old as the 1989 is now). The expected total CAGR is now projected for Haut-Brion 2015 is now projected to be 8.23%. We re-iterate our Strong Buy recommendation on Haut-Brion 2015 around the £2,700-2,800 level (6x75cl) IB.

  • AUSTRALIAN PERFECTION! | BUY the 100 Point The Laird 2012 | Lowest World Prices - VERY LIMITED OFFER - DON'T DELAY!

    The Laird is the top wine by Torbreck, one of the most prestigious and highest priced wines from the whole of the New World.

    The 2012 joins the 2008 and 2005 in scoring a perfect 100 points from Robert Parker. The 2005 and 2008 are almost impossible to buy anywhere in the world now. With a Drinking Window until 2039, this wine has over two more decades of improvement and price appreciation potential in the bottle. The Laird scores AA as an Investment Rating from Cru. Only one notch below the best possible AAA rating for long-term investment potential.

    "Deep garnet colored with a touch of remaining purple at the rim, the 2012 The Laird is one of those wines you could just go on smelling all day. It opens with a complex perfume of kirsch, dried mulberries, blackberry tart and spice cake over cloves, mocha, dusty earth, incense, star anise, yeast extract and aged beef. The full-bodied palate is drop-dead seductive, unfurling in the mouth to reveal exotic spice, meat, earth and berry preserves layers, supported by firm, velvety tannins and seamless acid. The finish seems to go on forever - and this is exactly what you want it to do. Stunning."

  • 50 years on, it doesn't get any better than 1968 Taylor's Single Harvest Very Old Tawny Port!

    * For anyone celebrating a fiftieth birthday this year, they may be aware that 1968 was no great shakes as a vintage. According to Michael Broadbent, Bordeaux was ‘atrocious’, Burgundy and the Rhone were ‘poor’ (the Hospices de Beaune auction was cancelled) and Champagne doesn’t even get a mention. Port, Madeira (or perhaps California) are just about the only places where 1968 was not a complete write-off, it might seem.

    * There is hope yet for salvaging this vintage though as Taylor’s have since acquired a fabulous stock of old cask-aged wine including colheitas or ‘harvest’ wines (effectively dated tawnies), some dating back to the nineteenth century. Tawny Port is a wonderfully misunderstood phenomenon that benefits from being both knock-out brilliant and undervalued. Crucially, these wines have been well cared for in the interim and are being bottled in limited quantities to celebrate important anniversaries.

    * We are delighted to offer the new release of Taylor’s 1968 Very Old Single Harvest Port, which has understandably been selling out very quickly after release due to its strictly limited volumes. This is a fantastic opportunity to offer the fifth in this series of very special 50 year old ports.

  • New and Unusual Release: Historical XIXth Century 2014 from Chateau Palmer | 4 Cases Left

    * Prior to the establishment of the AOC system which regulates wine production in France today, there once existed a wine known as a "Bordeaux Hermitage". When Thomas Duroux, the Director of Château Palmer had the opportunity to try one of these historic treasures, he was inspired to revitalize this tradition by blending wine from the Palmer vineyards located on the rises of the Margaux appellation with a small measure of grapes from the northern Côtes du Rhône. The result is something truly one of kind, which explains why these very limited releases are so highly coveted by wine lovers eager to own a piece of history.

    * According to French wine regulations today, a wine which is blended from different regions loses its geographic origin as well as its vintage, which makes the Historical XIXth Century 2014 possibly one of the most exciting "table wines" in the world!

    * The blend is 45% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon from Château Palmer and 10% comes from Côtes du Rhônes septentrionale.

    * ETA into our UK warehouse is May 2018.

    * Very limited availability of (3x75cl) packs available.

  • AWARD-WINNING "ANTIQUARIAN" - Gold Medal Winner | CWSA Best Value | "Utterly gorgeous" says Jancis Robinson

    * Antiquarian is a unique project from South Australia that in the few years since it's been operating has garnered tons of praise and attention.

    * Recently taking home a GOLD MEDAL at the China Wine & Spirits Awards in the category of Best Value, these are no-brainers for bargain-hunters, as well as for those looking for a more thoughtful style of wine.

    * That is exactly why Jancis Robinson is a big fan, regularly awarding high scores well above her average for these esoteric blends, describing them as "wines to spend time with".

    * The "utterly gorgeous" Pinot Noir-Shiraz earned 18/20 points from Robinson, while the last vintage of the White Field Blend received 94 points from Decanter. The recently released 2017 is yet to be scored, but our expectations are high.

    * These are cerebral wines that surprise, engage and completely enthral with their unique set of aromas and texture. If you are looking for a departure from the Australian norm, here it is!

  • CRU OPENS BORDEAUX CLIENT STORAGE WAREHOUSE TO AVOID BREXIT DISRUPTION

    We are pleased to announce the latest addition to our international storage network:

    Dartess [Grand Cru Storage], Bordeaux, France

    Dartess joins the Cru network of Vine International (United Kingdom), Kerry Logistics (Hong Kong) and Toll City (Singapore).

    Dartess comes on stream this week to ensure that Cru clients can continue to collect, trade and store fine wine regardless of Brexit disruption.

    What this means for you:

    • From today, you have a Cru storage account in Dartess, France (in addition to your storage account in Vine, United Kingdom). • Storage rates in France are the same as the UK. • Wines stored in Dartess will be visible in your Account Management section, exactly as now. • Wines in Dartess can be sold exactly as UK stored wines can now (just 5% Selling Commission on our market leading portfolio management platform).

    Dartess Warehouse will Avoid Brexit Disruption:

    The Wine and Spirit Trade Association (WSTA) have informed all UK fine wine merchants that under a ‘no deal’ Brexit there is likely to be severe disruption to fine wine movements into the United Kingdom. For this reason, over the Brexit period we will temporarily be storing new European deliveries in the new temperature controlled, fully secure, Dartess facility. We are encouraging all long-term storage clients to leave their wines in France, where they can stay under bond for as long as you wish. You can request movement of these wines to the UK whenever required, which can be done using our online transfer tool.
