About BWC Management

Established in 2002, BWC are purveyors of fine wine and one of the UK's leading fine wine investmengt specialists. We have no ties to any producers, therefore we offer impartial advice and recommendations.

We are ideally positioned to assist private clients and financial institutions to identify investment and acquire the best vintages from the best Chateaux. We combine financial discipline, market insight and wine knowledge to optimise returns for our clients.

Investing In Wine

  • Capital Appreciation

    Prices of the most desirable fine wines have the essential dynamic of growing international demand and finite supply makes the prospects for future growth very strong.
  • Diversification Asset

    Fine wine has a long history of near-zero correlation with major debt and equity markets. As such, wine investment can provide diversification benefits to a conventional investment portfolio.
  • Tax Efficient

    If managed correctly fine wine can be a highly tax efficient asset. UK tax law considers wine a 'wasting asset' and therefore not subject to CGT. It is also considered a 'chattel' and is therefore preferentially treated with regards to Inheritance tax.
  • Tangible Asset

    Wine is a physical asset which may appeal to certain investors.Even the most sceptical may be reassured that they can ultimately consume their investment!

The benefits of using BWC Management

Any wine lover will tell you that wine is to be drunk and enjoyed. We at BWC certainly agree for the most part, but even the most romantic wine lover will tell you that the best wines now command the same respect and admiration as works of art. Combining business with pleasure can be a fine balance but with wine we feel it's a worthwhile venture, one we enjoy greatly and you can too.

BUILD A PORTFOLIO

BWC uses relative pricing, industry supplied information, release strategies and other factors to determine trade decisions. Whilst our selections are focused on First-growth Bordeaux, they can at times be complemented by second, third, fourth and even fifth growth wines.

INVESTMENT STRUCTURING

How your portfolio is structured depends greatly on the size of your traditional investment portfolio and your net worth. Initial investments and the length of term of the hold are very important as it will determine what we can recommend to you.

ACCESS TO RARE STOCK

We have established a network of negociants, merchants and traders throughout UK and Europe. These relationships give us the oppotunity to secure and dispose of stock in as cost efficient manner as possible.

RE-SALES

BWC has the network of contacts throughout the UK and Europe to arrange the re-sale of your wines at a moment's notice.
