One market headline can hide twenty different stories.
The broad fine-wine market can look flat while one region rises and another falls. Compare the parts before you judge the whole.

Switch between one year, three years and all available history. Down years stay on the chart, so a short recovery cannot hide a longer fall.

How WineExperts builds the index.
Every price starts as a realised trade, normalised to one 750ml bottle before anything else happens. A wine-vintage joins an index when it has at least four trades in the trailing twelve months across at least three distinct months, and a constituent is always wine plus vintage, never a producer average.
Returns are matched pairs: the same wine-vintage sold twice, chained across quarterly windows. A period publishes only with at least 6 matched pairs and at least 25% of the constituent count behind it. Below that the point is suppressed and the chart shows a gap. We never interpolate, and we never copy another publisher’s number into a WineExperts label.
Read it precisely: these are in-bond, trade-level exchange prices in GBP from one UK venue, net of fees. Every index publishes its full constituent list, and this page explains the index calculation. The full methodology covers the wider price, score, fee and corrections system used across WineExperts.

What is a fine wine market index?
It shows how a basket of fine-wine prices changes over time. WineExperts starts every visible line at 100 for the period you choose, so you can compare movement across categories without comparing the price of one bottle with another.
How is the WineExperts index different from Liv-ex?
Liv-ex publishes its own trade benchmarks and chooses its own baskets. WineExperts computes separate research series from realised in-bond trades at one UK venue, matched as repeat sales, and publishes the full constituent list behind every index. The methods and constituents are different, so the numbers should not be treated as interchangeable.
Can I compare Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Super Tuscan prices?
You can compare any categories that have cleared the publication gate, up to five on the same chart. Burgundy is defined but still waiting on a wine-level liquidity rule, so it stays disabled rather than receiving an invented line.
What is the Bordeaux wine price index?
The Bordeaux series tracks roughly two hundred Bordeaux wine-vintages selected on traded liquidity, left and right bank together. You can narrow to the Left Bank or the Right Bank, where Saint-Émilion and Pomerol trade, when those series have published points.
How often is the fine wine index updated?
The engine recomputes as new trades settle and this page revalidates daily. A period only publishes once it clears the gate of at least 6 matched pairs and at least 25% of the constituent count; until then it stays a gap.
Does a rising wine index mean my bottle rose by the same amount?
No. A category basket can move while one producer or vintage moves differently. Condition, provenance, format, storage and trading costs also affect what your bottle may realise.
Can the index predict wine investment returns?
No. It describes observed in-bond trade prices before buyer’s premium, storage, insurance, tax and selling costs. It is not a forecast, valuation, tradable benchmark or investment advice.
Why is an index unavailable?
That category has not published enough periods to draw an honest line. Burgundy needs a wine-level rule, Napa’s traded universe is too thin, and Saint-Émilion does not yet have its own engine index; it trades inside the Right Bank basket. WineExperts leaves a category disabled rather than filling the gap with another publisher’s number or a made-up estimate.
