When you invest through RareWine Invest, you invest in a model designed to maximize your returns and minimize unnecessary costs.
Your portfolio is stored through Nordic Freeport – a sister company of RareWine Invest that operates the only bonded warehouse for wine and spirits in the Nordics and manages bonded warehouses abroad. This means you can purchase and store wine without customs duties, excise taxes, or VAT.
As a result, you tie up less capital from the outset, optimize your returns, and retain full flexibility. VAT and duties are only paid if the wine is withdrawn from the bonded warehouse.
At the same time, you avoid the costly intermediaries that would otherwise significantly reduce the value of a wine investment. A traditional wine merchant’s margin is lost from the moment of purchase. VAT is, in practice, also lost unless the investment is made through an operating company with VAT deduction rights. If you sell privately – typically through an auction house – a commission is charged that often exceeds 30% of the total price paid by the buyer. For investors, the auction house is therefore an expensive intermediary that erodes returns.
At RareWine Invest, the investment model is optimized in favor of the investor. You do not pay a wine merchant’s margin. The wine is delivered directly to a bonded warehouse without the addition of customs duties, VAT, or excise taxes. When you wish to sell, the wine can always be listed for sale and settled easily and efficiently – without unnecessary intermediaries.
The result is an investment model that reduces capital commitment, eliminates unnecessary costs, and maximizes your potential return.
