Does Vinovest buy wines by the case or by the bottle? Can I own equity shares in a bottle of wine?

Vinovest almost exclusively buys wines by the case, and here’s why:

• Easier to Verify Provenance: Cases help ensure that all bottles come from the same source, reducing the risk of counterfeits and confirming the wine’s authenticity. This traceable history is vital for maintaining value in the secondary market.
• Preserves Resale Value: Buying wine by the case keeps the bottles together, which is highly desirable for collectors and buyers. Complete cases often command higher prices than individual bottles when sold.
• Protection During Transit and Storage: Specialized wooden or cardboard cases provide essential protection, reducing the risk of damage to the wine during transport or while in climate-controlled storage.
• Standard Packaging Sizes: Most investment-grade wines are sold in standard case sizes of 3, 6, or 12 bottles. These formats are preferred in the wine investment market over loose bottles, making it easier to find a buyer when you are ready to sell.

That said, we will buy individual bottles if they’re a truly can’t-miss investment opportunity. 

In keeping with our philosophy of 100% ownership of all wines in your portfolio, we do not offer fractional ownership of bottles or equity shares.
