Investment wine, like gold bullion, rare coins, fine art, and tulip bulbs, is seen by some as an alternative investment other than the more traditional investment holdings of stocks, bonds, cash, or real estate.^[1] While most wine is purchased with the intent of consuming it, some wines are purchased with the intention to resell them at a higher price in the future.^[2] A wine's value often goes up as time passes and consumption increases as the market becomes tighter and access to good wine is more elusive.^[3]
