News — Fine Wine Market

Napa Valley's agricultural leaders recently convened to discuss the critical role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data in ensuring the ecological balance and financial return of future harvests.

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.

While Bordeaux remains the largest category by trade volume, Champagne has demonstrably performed better against the recent market downturn, showing stronger price resilience and greater scarcity-driven demand in the most recent trading periods of 2025.
