The best investment doesn't need to be complicated.

Nordic Freeport ensures that your wines are delivered to a bonded warehouse where they are stored in your name. Specially trained staff receive and handle the wines, ensuring that they are handled and stored correctly. Nordic Freeport has storage capacity at several locations in Europe.

The wine is labelled with your investor ID, which ensures your anonymity while never leaving any doubt as to who owns the wine. The storage itself takes place under optimal conditions, where humidity and temperature are kept stable. It also ensures that the wine is not exposed to sunlight or other harmful light, and that vibrations from heavy traffic, for example, are not a problem.

Nordic Freeport is based in Vester Hassing - 15 minutes drive north of Aalborg - and has the same owners as RareWine Invest but operates as an independent company with the sole purpose of handling and storing wine and spirits for RareWine Group, as well as investors through RareWine Invest.

The storage facilities can be visited by appointment during normal office hours, so as an investor you always have the opportunity to inspect your wine investment, and of course you have the opportunity to have your wines delivered upon payment of duty, tax, 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, so 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

The positions in your portfolio are offered to you at the same conditions and prices* as international professional wine merchants.

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 based on portfolio size - the larger the sale, the smaller the commission.

*Market price can be higher and lower than RareWine's purchase price. The market price is determined based on our trading data and international price information databases.
