The fine wine market recovery accelerates in December 2025 as the Liv-ex 100 rises for the third month, led by French blue-chips. The secondary market for blue-chip French wines has officially broken its 36-month losing streak, marking December 2025 as the third consecutive month of growth.

While merchant confidence has declined across the fine wine industry, the confidence score among auction houses actually increased by 21.4% in 2025, signaling long-term conviction in collectable assets.

Renewed activity from American collectors is acting as a major catalyst for the fine wine market's stabilization, with U.S. buyers now representing nearly 30% of all trade on major platforms.

The global fine wine market is showing concrete signs of a recovery, with the Liv-ex Fine Wine 100 Index posting its first monthly gain in over a year during September 2025. This stabilization follows a prolonged correction and is underpinned by returning confidence, attractive pricing, and a significantly improved buyer-to-seller ratio. The data suggests classic, blue-chip collectible wines from major regions are once again attracting significant cross-regional demand.
