Collecting Fine wine, for pleasure or for profit?
For most of us who buy wine for cellaring it is often the equivalent to buying futures, whether purchasing on the secondary market, or buying en-primeur. In many cases the wine is untried and we are buying on the recommendation of experts and trusting that the wine will age with finesse.
In many ways the collecting goals are the same whether we are collecting for pleasure, or profit. If you are tying up capital and often investing additional resources for cellaring in some form, you want a return on the capital - either in terms of taste or value.
