If you were to ask a wine expert what the best luxury Champagne is, chances are vintage Krug and Louis Roederer Cristal would rank high on that list.

If you’ve ever thought about investing in fine wine, you’ve likely wondered whether you’ll get a high return on your investment. It’s true that wine investment returns can be a boon, especially when you buy blue-chip wine futures that consistently increase in value over time. However, as with any investment, there’s no guarantee you’ll get a high return. The fine wine market is less volatile than most, but to see a return on your investment (ROI), you must buy early, protect the wine’s provenance, store the wine securely, exercise patience, and know precisely when to sell, to whom, and at what price.
