Fine wine has returned over 9% annually and has low volatility over the long term. Wine has offered diversification benefits in both good times and bad times. In 2008, the S&P 500 dropped 38%, while wine remained stable.

Vint takes a small sourcing fee for each offering. Vint also purchases between 0.5% and 10% of each offering.
