Rare Wine & Spirits Investment Course: Collecting and Returns

A course for investors and collectors who want to systematically profit from rare wines and spirits. You will study the fine wine and rare spirits market structure (Liv-ex, Sotheby's Wine, Christie's, Acker, Zachys auctions), key regions and producers (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Rhône, Italy, Napa, Scotland whisky, Cognac, Japanese whisky), pricing factors (Parker/Wine Advocate critics, Vivino, ratings, vintage, rarity), valuation and indices (Liv-ex 1000, Wine Track), provenance and forgery detection (especially Burgundy and old Bordeaux), storage conditions (temperature, humidity, light, transport), insurance, taxes and customs, auction strategies and commissions. A separate block covers portfolio construction, diversification, exit strategies, wine funds and investment platforms. Capstone: a rare wine and spirits investment portfolio with rationale.
