It describes the main trends in the global wine investment market and identifies the prospects and problems of the development of wine investments in Russia. Conclusions and Relevance. The article concludes that investments in collectible wine are more profitable and less risky than traditional investment instruments, and they also have a weak correlation with classic financial market assets, which makes investing in wine an effective way to diversify a portfolio.
