Product Description
Wine investing is not new, it has been going on for centuries. In more recent years (the last two centuries), government tax laws on alcoholic drinks have made buying wine a little more prohibitive to the investor who wants to keep them at home in his/her private cellar. Nevertheless, as usual, the market has found a way around this problem. You can avoid taxes and V.A.T. (Value Added Tax) by buying fine wine on Bond (also called wine Futures or En Primeur). This book covers a simple and effective way in which anybody coming into the fine wine investing market place can safely securely and successfully select, and invest in En Primeur Wine.

Do not buy this book, 2008-06-23
I don't normally write reviews of books on Amazon, but felt I have to in this case. I just don't want people to be gauged by this guy. I have to give one star apparently because you cannot give zero. Wine investing is a hobby and a passion for me; I've been doing it for twenty years. It is a topic that is not covered well, especially in the US where wine investing is a controversial subject.
This book sells the author's other investment ideas and clearly is a cookie cutter wine investment guide. He knows nothing about wine and the number of pages in this slim volume actually devoted to wine investing are about 10. In these ten pages he covers topics that you can find covered in much more depth and better analysis if you put 'wine investor' into Google. Like the title says - please don't buy this book.

Don't waste your money!!!!!!, 2005-10-07
More than half this book is just advertising for the author's other products. Most of the rest of the book consists of some peculiar asset allocation theory (if you can even call it that) which has nothing to do with wine investing. There is a section with a bit of wine history and geography of Bordeaux. The section that actually deals with wine investing is small and fairly uninformative, definitely not worth the price of the book. The tidbit of tax information given is irrelevant for U.S. tax payers. Spend your money elsewhere!

I am a wine investor now ..., 2005-08-21
Hadn't really heard of wine investing before but as I have read and benefited from some of this authors books, I thought let me try. I got hold of bbr's notes and invested in 2004 Ch. Latour, 1er Cru Classé, 2004 Ch. Margaux, 1er Cru Classé, and 2004 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, Grand Cru Classé, Pessac-Léognan. I cant believe how easy it was. Now I am a wine investor. Next year I will see if I make 15% to 20% returns. This book made investing in the best wines for the greatest returns easy enough for me to do.
