Wine Investment

The Telegraph has an interesting article on investing in wine.

This paragraph caught my attention:

"Berry Bros and Rudd (BBR) is Britain's oldest wine and spirit merchant, established in 1698 since when it has traded from the same shop. The merchant has a website www.bbr.com where buyers can peruse their stock and buy directly but they also provide a popular "cellar plan" service. Investors pay a lump sum, BBR suggest £10,000, or an unspecified monthly direct debit and outline their taste profile of region, age and whether they wish to store the wine for any length."

Seriously, in the same building since 1698? I think I might need to stop by next time I am in London :)

Hi Allan,

We really have been in the same shop since 1698 and we'd love you to come and take a look next time you're over! It's changed a bit in the last 300+ years but it's pretty interesting...

There's more about our history here:

Thanks.
