The Bordeaux Wine Company (BWC) was established in 2002. The London based company is comprised of independent merchants who have no ties to any particular producers, which allows them to make impartial decisions and recommendations to their clients.  Bordeaux Wine Company advisors are purveyors of fine wine, and the group is one of the UK’s leading fine wine investment specialists. BWC operates a carefully selected network of fine wine merchants in the United Kingdom and Europe, and has plans to expand operation to the United States and the Far East in the foreseeable future – approximately within the next three years.

Investment in fine wines is not a new activity and Bordeaux wines have proven to be an excellent investment even in challenging economic conditions.  Investment in fine wine should always be considered a medium to long-term investment as, unlike the stock market, fine wines are traded with larger margins and bear certain fixed costs, creating a situation that is generally loss-making at its outset. The unique setting and more than ten centuries of wine-making experience have combined to make Bordeaux home to some of the world’s greatest wines. With over 118,000 hectares of vines, the wine growing region is bigger than the entire area of Australia, and its diverse soil types make it suitable for growing several varieties of grapes, including Cabernet, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc – all of which have their origins in Bordeaux.

Strategically based on the principle that the older the wine, the more prestigious and valuable it is, the Bordeaux Wine Company markets some of Bordaux’s best vintage First Growth wines from Bordeaux's best vintages. The wines are purchased while they are still young relatively inexpenseive and held as their value increases over time. Upon reaching “optimum drinking age”, the wines can be sold for a significant profit.  The wine industry today is a market worth over Euro 14.5 billion.

BWC experts offer a range of services for the wine investor, including building a portfolio, addressing the logistics involved in storing and insuring wines, reselling wines and keeping their customers current on trends and prices in the wine market. The BWC specialists are also able to give advice on international tax relating to the purchase and resale of wine – an issue close to the heart of every investor.

Chairman of the Rosemont Group, Frederick Achom, is a major shareholder in BWC. With his interest in  a large Australian winery, Achom is familiar with the wine business, which he combines with his keen business acumen to provide expert advice to customers. Considered an economic expert, Achom keeps up with market trends and movements and recommends investments to clients around the world. 

BWC has built a record for superior customer service, and provides its growing customer base with uncompromising, detail-oriented services. With their reputation as experts in both buying and reselling fine wine, the BWC appears to succesffuly combine pleasure and business – the pleasures of fine wine with making secure and profitable investments.
