Our Fine Wine Investment Service:

Of course like any other smart investment, access to the right information is crucial. At VBA we are rigorous about providing the best possible advice to all our clients, whether long-term investors or short-term speculators.

We don't simply identify good wines in which to invest, and leave our clients to it: we remain on call to provide any other advice or service needed, such as the best options for exit strategies.

Key to developing understanding of the fine wine market, and of course key to your eventual exit strategy in terms of the sale of the wine, is the communication flow from VBA - allowing you to stay abreast of the market and the performance of your wine. We produce bi-annual evaluation reports and quarterly updates through our 'Investors Grapevine' bulletin.

But most impressive is our unique Virtual Cellar, providing you with up to date tracking of your portfolio. Log in anytime, anywhere to see exactly what your wine is worth.

And of course our expert client service representatives are always available to help you with whatever questions you might have.
