The Era of 80’s and 90’s Luxury Wine

Latest luxury wine values suggest that 80’s and 90’s bottles are well and truly in vogue, and this week, the Ideal Wine Company blog explores the value of these up and coming vintages.

Ideal Wine Company Recognises the Value of Wine Investment
Here at the Ideal Wine Company, we specialise in bringing you some of the world’s highest quality wines, at prices that your bank balance can handle. We understand that luxury wine is not only a desirable product, but an investment as well; one that you can use to add an element of diversification to your portfolio.
Many of the vintages on the Ideal Wine Company list were produced in the 80’s and 90’s. Quite frankly, that is because in our expert opinion, these bottles not only boast an array of decadently fabulous flavours, they provide fantastic returns for the committed wine investor.

The Bordeaux 2013 En-Primeur Campaign
The inherent value of 80’s and 90’s vintages was underscored this week by an article on the Hindu Business Line; a popular publication in the emerging luxury products market of India. The article went on to explain that fine wine investments have continued to climb, as the current Bordeaux 2013 En-Primeur campaign came to an end.

It further highlighted the reason for the success of this particular campaign (two others have notably failed to lift the fine wine markets); this reason was generally perceived to be pricing. It focused on Chateaux, and their decision, on the back of a trend that has seen fine wine prices climb over the past few years, to increase their release prices in order to reap a profit from these huge value increases.

Left Bank Bordeaux Wine a Lucrative Investment.
Notably, this lead to a high demand for 80’s and 90’s wines. Specifically this year, according to the publication, wines from the right bank of Bordeaux seem to be reaping high returns, including Chateau Le Pin and Chateau Cheval Blanc.


At the Ideal Wine Company, we’ve long recognised the inherent value of wines that originate from the Bordeaux region, as well those that were produced in the 80’s and 90’s This rising trend proves that these vintages are truly effective investments for those looking to reap high returns on any diversified luxury goods portfolio in the current market.
