Bordeaux fine wine and Alternative Investment Market (AIM)

We saw last year that Societe Generale became the first overseas financial group to issue a Bordeaux wine fund on the Chinese mainland, in Beijing.

Earlier this month, a specialist in investing in Bordeaux fine wine announced that he would become the first company to float on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in 2011. Wine investors announced a plan to raise £30m for the fund.

This is clearly further proof that fine wine is becoming recognised as a ‘credible’ alternative investment by financial institutions and their clients.
