Fine Wine Market Update: September 2025.

Even after two years of softening prices driven by economic and geopolitical uncertainty, the global fine wine market is signalling recovery as volatility recedes and trading volumes pick up. Burgundy, Champagne, and top-tier Italian wines are seeing renewed demand, with trading up significantly in 2025 – suggesting the market may be close to bottoming out. Current conditions present “buyers’ market” opportunities, especially for collectors seeking entry to proven performers at historically attractive levels

• Bordeaux and Burgundy: Both regions ended the first half of 2025 in negative territory, but renewed interest is driving selective recovery, with global investors targeting blue-chip bottling's for long-term value.

• Champagne & Italy: Prestige cuvées and Super Tuscan wines are outperforming and providing reliable areas for portfolio diversification.

• Sweet Wines & Rhône: Interest in sweet wines and top Rhône producers such as Jean Louis Chave and Guigal is increasing after strong performance in early 2025

Global Market Dynamics and Trends

Driving the market are broader financial and demographic trends: the S&P 500’s perceived overvaluation has encouraged investors to seek diversification in tangible assets like fine wine, historically viewed as a “safe haven”. Generational change is underway, with Millennials and Gen Z entering the market with a focus on sustainability, premiumisation, and innovation. Technology is reshaping investment strategies, as digital trading platforms and AI-driven analysis become mainstream.

• Trading volumes in 2025 are up globally, marking a turning point from previous declines.

• Sustainability and brand equity drive premium segment demand, with eco-friendly and tech-enabled wineries attracting significant investment.
