Some useful wine investing resources:
 decanter.com/collecting/investment  
 Decanter  magazine's free online guide 'How to Invest in Wine' is an essential read for anyone considering adding wine to their portfolio. Easy to understand and filled with excellent tips, the guide features 10 sections, including a general overview of the pros and cons of wine investment, explanations of industry terms such as 'en primeur' (buying wines before they are bottled) and dos and don'ts of the trade. Written in July last year, some sections need updating, but as a general overview, it works well. 
 www.liv-ex.com  
 The Liv-ex Fine Wine 100 Index  is the leading industry tracker of prices at wine auctions, one of the primary ways investment wines are bought and sold. Updated monthly, the index tracks prices for the most sought-after investment wines on the secondary market. Most of the wines listed are from  Bordeaux, but burgundies, champagnes and other varieties are also followed. While access to the index is by paid subscription, the Liv-ex website also features an excellent blog that tracks price trends and analyses industry trends with graphs and charts. 
 wineeconomist.com 
 Run and written by Mike Veseth,  a professor of international political economy  at the University of Puget Sound  who wrote a book exploring competing trends in the global wine market, the Wine Economist is a blog that no enthusiast or investor should ignore. While it doesn't focus specifically on wine as an investment vehicle, Veseth's brainy posts score points for examining happenings on the wine scene from the analytical view of an economist. It is exactly the type of research that professional investors appreciate.
