Alternative investment platform, Vint has released 3,825 shares of its latest collection featuring the top wines from the Northern and Southern Rhone Valley in France. The collection includes 360 bottles valued at over $150,000.
The Rhône 100 index from Liv-ex is at its highest level ever, having risen consistently over the past 15 months. The index collectively outperformed top indices for Bordeaux and Italian wines and even gold in 2021.
About The Rhone Valley Collection: According to Liv-ex, Rhone Valley wines make up more than 4.5% of the total global wine trade by volume. The most widely sought-after wines from the Northern Rhone Valley are traditionally from Hermitage and Côte Rotie.
The most in-demand wines in this collection are the three single-vineyard “La La” wines, La Mouline, La Landonne and La Turque, of which this collection features multiple vintages of each. The most notable of these wines in the collection is the 2010 vintage, with each of the three wines being awarded 100 points.
This collection also features wines from two of the most celebrated producers from the Southern Rhone Valley: Pegau and Château de Beaucastel from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region. While wines in this region have been coveted by connoisseurs for centuries, investment interest has grown significantly in recent years with Châteauneuf-du-Pape making up 55% of all Rhone wines traded on Liv-ex.
The wines in Vint’s latest collection have maturity dates ranging from 2024 to 2028. This will be the window in which Vint anticipates selling the wines and to make distributions to investors.
The collection currently has about 2,200 shares remaining, which are priced at $40 per share.

Wine as an Investment: While investing in wine may be a new concept for most retail investors, it has been a popular asset class among institutional investors and the ultra-wealthy for decades.
The concept is quite simple - The demand for highly coveted wines increases among connoisseurs as the wine approaches its optimum drinking age and the supply becomes more limited as bottles are consumed. Since nobody can ever produce a bottle of 2010 La Mouline again, the limited supply of existing bottles appreciates in value as they become increasingly more difficult to obtain.
About Vint: It would be extremely difficult for the average investor to know which wines are going to be most likely to increase in value and even more difficult to gain access to a collection of that wine early on.
Vint has the buying power, industry connections and knowledge necessary to gain access to the most sought-after wines on the market at attractive prices before they reach peak value. The company also makes it possible for individual investors to gain access to these wines with a much smaller minimum investment than seeking these bottles out on their own.
Investors can gain access to the Rhone Valley collection as well as future offerings by signing up on the Vint platform.
