Investments in fine wines for speculative purposes over the past few years aren’t going too well, as we’ve often written, so the easy profits of a few years ago are now a distant memory. If, however, the market will improve sooner or later, according to analysts (as we explained here), to those whose passion is collecting fine wines and buying them to age and drink at the right time, on the other hand, prices are falling a little to the peaks of the recent past, the glass is half full.
Liv-Ex, the main platform of the secondary market, “classifies” the most quoted wines on the market. Liv-Ex has specified that compared to the 2023 edition, the price levels that define the “tiers” from 1 to 5, in this new 2025 classification have been revised downwards by 23%, following the trend of Liv-Ex 1000, the broadest of the platform’s indices, between June 2023 and June 2025. Overall, Liv-Ex explained, France dominates the list at 207 wines, 48 in the “Tier 1” and 85 in the “Tier 2”.
