Given the rising reputation of fine wine as a profitable long-term investment asset, there is a growing focus on the measure of the wine price performance. By having trading prices at our platform, we are working to satisfy this demand: Alti Wine Exchange is happy to introduce our internal wine index based exclusively on wine trading results on our platform.

The main goal of the Alti Wine Internal Index is to track performance of the wines that are listed on Alti Wine Exchange in order to offer potential returns of wine investments through the platform.

 

Our fine wine index

Alti Wine Internal Index is an equal weighted index that currently tracks price evolution of the following wines among the ones listed on Alti Wine Exchange (as of January 2021): Seña 2007, Seña 2008 Magnum, Moscatel Kingsman Century Edition 1919, Riesling Beerenauslese Kröv Steffensberg 2007, Moscatel de Setúbal Superior 1911, Montes Folly, Chateau Coutet Cuvée Émeri, Vallado Adelaide Douro 2014 and ABF Vallado 1888 Port.

There is no universally accepted method for calculating an index. We therefore decided to develop our own index using equal weight. This means that we assume investing same amount of money in every wine listed on the exchange.

The main reason for this choice is that both the volatility and the beta of fine wine are understated on existing wine index data. With an equal weight index, no trades in one specific wine will affect the index.

 

Alti Wine Exchange also runs several country fine wine indexes based on the market price average of the wines integrating the indexes, with the goal of benchmarking a representative basket of fine wines in a specific country, but underestimating risk on the wine market.

Our exchange is based on real trades of the listed wines, making it more robust and reliable and allowing you to track your fine wine portfolio on our platform. The diversification of fine wine in this index is more limited, but the diversification potential is also more limited than believed in the industry. The goal is to allow you to compare your wine investment with the wine index and with other types of assets.
