Our investment offers

Building a wine cellar is an investment
- It requires working capital to finance (you need savings to purchase the wine over a period of time). That’s why it’s essential to buy wisely, choosing what and how much to invest.
- There’s also a monthly storage cost to consider (whether at home or in a warehouse).
- And if you plan to resell, be aware of the fees and commissions involved.
Investing with U’Wine is much more than a financial decision.
Like any investment, it carries risks, such as potential loss of value or limited liquidity, but it offers multiple returnsthrough a rich, unique, and accessible experience:
- Financial and heritage value, by building a cellar of Grands Crus stored in optimal conditions, with the potential to increase in value over time.
- Personal enjoyment, by tasting exceptional wines, pairing them with fine cuisine, or simply sharing them with loved ones.
- The U’Wine experience, with exclusive events such as U’Wine Tours and private tastings, a new way to experience wine.
- Ease of use, thanks to a digitalized platform, personalized support, and real-time cellar management.
U’Wine is designed for those who take a long-term view of their investment. It’s for people who want to give meaning to their portfolio by supporting a fairer wine distribution system, and who also appreciate the option of enjoying certain wines if they can’t be resold.
U’Wine’s track record shows that clients who invest a little each year, remain patient when it comes to reselling, accept occasional losses, and consider the full range of returns offered by U’Wine — financial, experiential, and personal — are the ones who report the highest satisfaction.
An asset-private equity approach:
At U’Wine, our ambition is to modernize the distribution of fine wines, making them more accessible and better suited to the consumers of today and tomorrow. Through our allocations, services, and experiences, both physical and digital, we open new doors to enjoying wine.
We promote a transparent and sustainable investment model, built in close collaboration with our partner estates, and designed to enhance the value of each vintage. By integrating new technologies, we are reinventing wine distribution to reach a broader, more connected, and more demanding audience.
By investing through U’Wine, you contribute to the long-term value of fine vintages, the preservation of wine heritage, and a responsible approach where every bottle is treated as a valuable asset to protect.
