The best investment doesn't need to be complicated.

Your wines are delivered to the only bonded warehouse for wine in Scandinavia where they are stored in your name.

Specially trained staff receive and handle the wines and ensure that they are treated and stored correctly. The wine is labeled with your investor ID, which ensures both your anonymity and that there can never be any doubt as to the ownership of the wine.

The warehouse itself is insulated, and an ultramodern cooling system keeps the temperature stable at around 12 °C, which is optimal for the long-term storage of wine.

Similarly, it is ensured that the wine is not exposed to sunlight or other harmful rays, and the distance from the nearest roads means that vibrations from heavy traffic are not a problem.

The bonded warehouse is located at Vester Hassing, 15 minutes’ drive north of Aalborg, and has the same owners as RareWine Invest, but is operated as an independent company under the name of Nordic Freeport. The only objective of the company is to store wine and spirits without customs duty, excise, and VAT on behalf of investors.

The bonded warehouse can be visited by appointment within usual business hours and, as an investor, you therefore always have the option to inspect your wine investment and, similarly, you can have your wines delivered upon payment of customs duty, excise duties, and VAT.

Ongoing costs

Every investment involves a cost, and while an asset manager, in addition to trading costs, typically charges between 1% and 3% annually to manage a securities depository, the total running costs associated with wine investment at RareWine Invest are 0.7% annually. This covers handling, storage and insurance

RareWine Invest focuses on trading, and therefore running costs are kept as low as possible. Thus, the cost level of wine investment through RareWine Invest can compete with both banks and pension funds, even though it is about handling and storing physical goods.

Trading costs

No purchase commission is paid to RareWine Invest in connection with purchase of wine purchased at international market price.

When the return is to be realized and the wines are sold, this is done in consignment sale with a fixed commission rate of between 5% and 10%, determined on the basis of portfolio size - the larger the sale, the smaller the commission.
