An Introduction
The Fine Wine market is often branded as a solid and stable source of alternative investment, and even with the recent Global economic and political upheaval it has continued to be a stable and profitable asset.
Existing within the fine wine market there are more opportunistic and commercial way of achieving higher rates of short term returns though trading “parcels of wine.” With over 20 years of experience Club Vinicon aims to be an enthusiastic and enjoyable environment that can add private purchasing scale to a young business whilst the members enjoy a memorable “club experience” as well as commercial returns.
Our Proposition
Club Vinicon is a personal, members-only wine club for like-minded people who enjoy drinking, discovering and discussing fine wine. The club provides access to exclusive experiences, including fine wine tastings, château visits and other wine-related events, all enabled through the trading of carefully selected wine parcels.
These parcels are one-off opportunities to buy finite quantities of wine at below-market prices and sell them at the right time, treating wine as a tradable asset rather than a long-term cellar-building exercise. Members participate through an individual pledge, typically in £25,000 aliquots, with a total club target of £250,000, and the aim is to generate attractive returns over a 24–36 month period. At the end of each cycle, members can choose to exit with their capital and profits, renew their participation, or take value in cash and/or drinking wine at Vinicon preferential rates.
