There have been strong increases in demand for almost every major fine wine region, especially Champagne
Although the 2009 Bordeaux En-Primeur and increasing prices have contributed to some extent, the UK market is the healthiest it has been in a number of years.
In addition to Bordeaux, there have been strong increases in demand for almost every major fine wine region, especially Champagne.
UK buyers are buying fine wine both as an investment, and to drink.
Sales via direct investment companies have increased significantly but not out of proportion to overall turnover.
Sales of first growths excluding Chateau Latour are still markedly skewed towards Asia.
