    PM for Prawn

    Hello flower,

    Listen I was dragging my flu ridden arse through Gatwick earlier and they wos selling krug for 500 pound a pop.

    Now, here's me question. If I bought a few of these (at best price, not from the airport) and chucked em in the loft until I retire, would they be a good retirement nest egg?

    Or, if as I very much suspect is the case I'm a and this won't work, but what could you buy now, store in the attic that would be worth a few quid in say 25 years time?

    Cheers Bud.

    Hope your well

    I have some magic beans for sale. Very good price for you sir

    Alternatively, how about one of these:

        Firstly

        Fine wine as investment is pretty tricky nowadays, but the following points are worth noting:


        1 Professional Storage is key. Both from a security (ie Fakes are rife) and longevity of the wines (perfect storage conditions)
        2 Wines have a drinking window so please check your wines, Bordeaux for instance can age for 50 years or more whereas champagne usually shorter
        3 Most professional storage units require cases of 6 or 12 as a minimum


        One other thing as traditional sales of Bordeaux decline, people are moving into Champagne and prices are rising, so value is pretty hard to find in the vintage markets at the mo.

        imo

          Storing krug. No for 2 reasons.

          a. Its for drinking
          b. In a few years it will about as good as asti.

          risking some decent bordeaux en primeur can work. I only drink it though. If you are planning to sell it will cost a small fortune in cellarage in order to maintain provenance.

            No expert on wine but sure a loft ain't the place. Mine gets bleeding hot in summer.
