What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.

  • First party cookies are cookies set by the website you're visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
  • Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.

Every time you visit our websites, you will be prompted to accept or refuse cookies. The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as user name, language, etc.) for a certain period of time. That way, you don't have to re-enter them when browsing around the site during the same visit.

Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.

How do we use cookies?

Currently, there are four types of cookies that may be generated as you browse our site: Strictly Necessary, Statistics, Preference and Marketing cookies.

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies. These cookies will generally be first-party session cookies. While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary are explained in the table below.

How do I control Strictly Necessary Cookies?

You can use your browser settings to control whether or not we set session cookies. More information on your browser settings is provided at the bottom of this page.

Please be aware that these cookies are critical to the efficient working of the site. If you choose to disable these cookies from this site, the functionality of the site may be greatly reduced.

2. Statistics Cookies

Also known as "performance cookies," these cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.

Statistical information is used in reports and to improve our site. For example, we have used analytics data to add, remove or change features of the site based on how popular they are with users.

We track, for example:

  • the numbers of visitors to individual pages;
  • when pages were visited;
  • how long users stayed on the page;
  • the IP address of the user of the website;
  • the page they came from;
  • technical data about the device being used to browse the site (such as browser and operating system version, and display size) — we use this data to ensure that the technology our site uses is appropriate for the majority of our users, and how best to display the site for users who have less capable browsers.

More information about Statistics cookies

We use cookies from different partners including Google to provide our analytics data. You can read more about how Google Analytics treats your data on their web site. You can also read Google's full privacy policy.

How do I control Statistics cookies?

Google provides a tool to opt-out of Google Analytics. This is available for all modern browsers in the form of a browser plugin. Additionally, you can control how cookies are set using your browser settings.

3. Preference cookies

Also known as "functionality cookies," these cookies allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, whether you have accepted our cookie policy, what region you would like weather reports for, or what your user name and password are so you can automatically log in.

4. Marketing cookies

The advertisements you see displayed on this, and other, sites are generated by third parties. These services may use their own anonymous cookies to track how many times a particular ad has been displayed to you and may track your visits to other sites where their ads are displayed. Please note that advertisers can only track visits to sites which display their ads or other content. This tracking is anonymous, meaning that they do not identify who is viewing which ads.

Tracking in this manner allows advertisers to show you ads that are more likely to be interesting to you, and also limit the number of times you see the same ad across a wide number of sites. As an example of how advertisers operate, if you recently researched holidays, adverts for holiday operators may subsequently appear on our sites.

We do not have access to, or control over, these third party cookies; nor can we view the data held by these advertisers. Online advertisers provide ways for you to opt-out of your browsing being tracked. More information about the advertisers we use, and how to opt-out, is provided below.

A beginner's guide for Fine Wine investments

Lena Sonnen
24.9.2021

wine vineyards

Drinking a nice glass of Bordeaux or Chardonnay on a Friday evening after work is a perfect way to start the weekend. There is no need for a guide on how to enjoy such a moment, but what if instead of drinking wine, you consider investing into wine?

Investing in wine

First of all, investing in wine has always been very popular with wealthy individuals that want to diversify their investment portfolio in the best way possible and those that are looking for out-performance. Fine wine is an alternative asset class that hedges against the traditional risks of the stock market and yields promising returns. Especially in times of crisis, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, fine wine has proven to be a solid performer in comparison to other investments. In example, vintage wines from Tuscany have experienced 18% annual growth in 2020. Overall, the wealth report from Knight Frank reveals that the 10 year return of fine wine is 127% in 2020.

But what typically affects and influences the quality of a Wine?

Wine is affected by the market, such as the supply and demand of the wine, as well as brand recognition and prestige. In addition, the vintage quality and volume of production, the wine scores given by critics and the relative value of the wine are factors influencing the wine market.

A grape that is grown by only a handful of vineyards, and thus has very limited supply, already prospects a greater return. If this grape is also highly demanded and if the wine is produced by a reputable vineyard, it further benefits the estimated return. But if in the year of the harvest the weather was not suitable for the grapes to grow and prosper, the quality and value of the wine could be at risk. But even after the Wine is bottled, incorrect storage can harm a wine’s value.

Long term over short term

A fine wine has aged a couple of years before being served, the same goes for a good investment. In most cases, the older the wine the better, which means being invested in the long-run can yield even higher returns.

Challenges

With any investment there is always an associated risk, which is however very low for wine. The main issue is the availability of the wines. It is also extremely difficult to know which wine has potential and which one won’t. There are always risks when purchasing wine as an investment, but some argue the worst outcome could be that one ends up drinking it!

To sum it all up, fine wine offers great potential, especially for long-term investors looking for a safe place from negative interest rates, rising inflation and low yielding bonds. But be cautious, not every wine is worth an investment.

How do I invest in wine?

Investing in wine is not as easy as buying wine for consumption. One must be very knowledgeable to decide which wine is worth an investment, but also be affluent enough to afford them and able to safely store them in the appropriate climate conditions. If this is not a given, you can still invest through Fine Wine Investment Funds who offer managed wine portfolios and also take care of all the storage and logistics. Yet, even with these fund partners, consumers must be willing to spend thousands of Euros to own investment grade wine as their minimum investment is usually higher than 25,000€. So what if you don’t have the knowledge or thousands of Euros to spend on Wine?

An easy option is through crowd-ownership: Konvi fractionalises ownership in alternative assets such as fine wines. This means from 250€ onwards, consumers can acquire partial ownership in exclusive wines that are very rare and demanded through very renowned partner funds. Konvi only offers alternative assets on its platform, which it truly believes to be a value adding asset for its customers' portfolios. Thereby, we continuously communicate and update the Konvi community on their assets, allowing transparent and safe transactions.

This option is the most suitable for consumers who want to diversify their portfolio or are looking for stable performance, without having to spend large amounts of money. In case you would like to receive updates on Konvi’s upcoming wine crowd-fund, sign up with your email and pre-order your shares in our app.
