Tip of The Week - Thunderbird. The Best Before Jan 09 is considered the best vintage for months.

Is wine as a long-term investment a good idea? Possibly, if you really know what you are doing.

For example, if you were quick, you could have picked up 2003 Corbieres at a great price, and they have now rocketed.

But you could have also purchased 2005 Burgundys at the peak of demand, and seen your investment plummet.

Thats why you never buy the uber expensive stuff. Few hundred here and there, select buys. Most I've spent on a case is £525 and that was after a lot of deliberation. Just take into account the sources reputation and the tasters reviews. Easy as pie.

You can store it at home but its not advised. A half descent trader will store it in a secure place for you and not charge much. You're covered by their insurance if anything happens to it as well.

Investing in wine sounds like a rather niche market. Probably not advisable to just jump in unless you can afford to lose your money.

If you're new to it you can just go with a good trader and ask whats hot in what ever price range you're looking at spending then look up some reviews on what he says.
