A refreshingly different approach to fine wine investment

Vinance Plc has a transparent and investor-friendly pricing structure. Our charges are immediately apparent within every transaction.

When you buy wine from most fine wine merchants they will charge a margin of at least 20% - 30% within their published prices. When selling your wine on for you they offer two options. They can offer your wine within their catalogues or to their client base, for a commission of 10% of the selling price.

As they have cases of their own to sell, it may take months to complete the sale of yours. The alternative is to make you a cash offer, which is typically 20% - 30% below the market value, depending on demand for the individual vintage.

Vinance’s approach is different. We tell you the exact price at which we acquire the wine on your behalf. We then make a one-off charge of 25% of the purchase price of the wine on our price to you.

This includes:

• the cost of setting up your own private account at Octavian bonded warehouse
• all delivery and transport costs associated with your wine
• examination of your wine on arrival
• one year’s storage and insurance charges from the date in bond
• the selling of your wine at the prevailing market value, with your cheque normally arriving within 30 days

Our scale and large customer base across the UK means that we can obtain the full market value for your wine whenever you decide to sell your wine. We can include your wine in larger bundles of 10 or 20 cases – we don’t have to rely on selling individual cases as they come up.
