Fine wine, with the storage record attached.
Fine-wine indices describe selected, actively traded wines. They do not remove vintage, provenance, storage, tax, condition or selling-route differences.
Latest verified context
A market emerging from correction.
Liv-ex uses independent, transaction-based Mid Prices. Its Fine Wine 100 tracks 100 sought-after wines; a compact Knight Frank long-run reference lower on the page remains a separate category series.

Knight Frank KFLII, to Q4 2024. This older broad-category window is retained only as compact long-run context; it is not the page’s current reading, an annual return, or an item-level result.
Do not splice the series
The current provider above and Knight Frank use different baskets and methods.
Open Knight Frank source ↗A buyer’s framework
A label is not the whole asset.
The bottle, case, storage history and ownership route all sit between an index print and a buyer’s actual outcome.
01
Wine & vintage
Confirm the exact producer, cuvée, vintage, format and case configuration. Regional indices can conceal substantial dispersion.
02
Provenance
Trace acquisition history and movement. Long, unexplained gaps weaken confidence even when the label is desirable.
03
Storage
Review temperature-controlled storage records, location and insurance. Heat, light and movement can affect condition and saleability.
04
Physical condition
Inspect fill levels, capsules, labels, cork risk and the original case rather than treating all bottles of a vintage as identical.
05
All-in cost
Include storage, insurance, transport, merchant spread, tax status and eventual selling fees before judging a quoted change.
06
Route out
Exchange liquidity, merchant bids and auction demand vary by wine and market cycle. A published index is not an instant exit price.
Keep the distinction visible
Category history is not an item-level forecast.
These public measures describe selected index baskets or market segments. They do not establish the value, liquidity, costs or future selling price of any particular item.
