Fine Wine as Loan
Collateral
Can wine be used as a loan collateral? Amazing
as it sounds, it can. But as wine investing is a risky business and with all scams around, this
option carries substantial risks. Some financial institutions in the U.S. are willing to grant loan
in exchange for fine wines. One of the things with wine investment is that even if you have a rare
wine, is the market willing to pay for it?

business throughout the year, even at the best of times. Ditto for investing in fine wine. But if

Growing demand for fine wines
Recent reports by Morgan Stanley global financial services firm (as reported by
BBC), suggest that global demand for wine in 2013 has exceeded supply by about 10%. This has caused the biggest
wine shortage in the past 40 years. Global wine production was growing until 2004, when it started to recede
despite ongoing demand for wines.
But if you plan to become a wine investor, you must be able to afford losing
money. Scams aside, wine is particularly susceptible to a number of risk factors, such as being perishable,
potential liquidity problems, as well as being subject to market demand, as most investments are. That's why good
wine investment funds always have an exit strategy.
Nonetheless, for those who understand the risks involved and are prepared to deal
with them, wine investment is a very exciting area that can be handsomely rewarding to smart investors.
