The thing I’m most proud of from Q2 is the performance of Vinovest wines. It’s no secret that the wine market is in a funk. But our average wine returned 0.58% in Q2. That’s 3% better than the Liv-ex 1000!

Vinovest recently hit its 1-year whiskey investing anniversary. (Before that, we only offered wine.) To commemorate, we’re looking back at the last year. $16+ Million Invested Assets under management went from 0 to $16 million real quick. In fact, 22% of Vinovestors invest in whiskey. 3 Countries Covered Vinovest originally offered one type of whiskey - single malt scotch. But thanks to some strong and strategic partnerships, we’ve expanded to offer Irish and American whiskey. 9 Successful Exits Straight bourbon (75% corn, 21% rye, 4% barley) has been in high demand. That's because that core mashbill is often used by sourced brands. #whiskeyinvesting #alternativeassets #vinovest

Some top Bordeaux wines are out of the budget for ordinary people. Not this year. 2023 has been defined by price cuts of 20% to 30% compared to last year. As Fabrice Georges put it, “This is one of the best opportunities to purchase en primeurs since 2019.” So how did we get here? A couple of reasons. 🍇 A Healthy Harvest Both banks averaged 40 to 50 hectoliters per hectare. In comparison, the 2021 and 2022 vintages were closer to 25 to 35 hectoliters per hectare. 💰 Downward Price Pressure Our winery relations manager Olivier Bouchard noted that the fine wine industry needs a jolt to the value chain. More attractive prices can entice buyers. ⚖️ Heterogeneous Vintage The 2023 vintage is good but uneven. The combination of a hot summer and mildew meant some wineries performed better than others. Navigating 2023 En Primeur There’s no shortage of great opportunities. Some of our early favorites include Château Montrose and Château Cheval Blanc. Meanwhile, it was an excellent year for whites with Pavillon Blanc from Château Margaux really wowing us.  #bordeaux #enprimeur #2023bordeauxenprimeur
