Abstract

Press reports have praised the stability of fine wine prices over recent weeks. While stock, and even gold prices, fell sharply since the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis, the Liv-ex Investables Wine index only dropped by 2 to 3%. However, we expect a sharp correction of fine wine prices over the upcoming weeks or months according to an analysis of the fundamental determinants of fine wine prices, and a comparison with previous crises.
