Why Buy Wine Futures?

What is En Primeur?

En primeur or "wine futures", is a way of purchasing wines while a vintage is still in a barrel, offering the customer the opportunity to invest in a particular wine before it is bottled. Payment is made at an early stage, from a year to 18 months before each wine is bottled. Delivery from end 2013 - early 2014.

Why Buy En Primeur Wines?

The biggest advantage of buying wine futures is price. The en primeur price of a wine is almost always lower than the release price on the market. Buying wine futures also allows you to buy the most highly demanded wines that may be virtually impossible to find when they are released on the market in a variety of different formats such as half bottles, magnums and larger-sized bottles.
