It is your wine and you can do whatever you wish with it. We do strongly recommend a holding period which varies depending on the bottle in question. This can vary depending on the wine and its potential for aging, something our wine team will provide information on as your portfolio grows.
You can, but we recommend storing your wines in a tax efficient HMRC bonded warehouse as they mature. This important service is usually provided as part of your wine purchase with us. It allows the bottles to be stored correctly, under the optimal conditions for preservation.

As a physical asset, it can offer more financial security than stocks and shares, with value historically rising with age and rarity. Wine has delivered strong returns over the last decade and is recognised as amongst the safest and most secure assets.
When the time’s right to sell your wine, there are multiple exit options open to you. These include selling your wines as single bottles, through our e-commerce website. Higher-level tiers will receive priority access to our e-commerce and trading platforms, which will be launched in 2024.

Tax treatment is subject to HMRC guidelines. If you require tax advice on asset investment, you should seek the advice of a qualified tax advisor. DECANT INDEX is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and we do not offer any specific financial advice on the use of assets as investments. As this is an unregulated product, investing in this asset does not afford the same protection as regulated products. Any investment is, therefore, speculative.
Fees do apply: please see our terms and conditions. If you are purchasing wine, whisky or rum cask for investment, you must consider the cost of maintaining your cask. You maybe liable for storage and insurance. The price will be dependent on how comprehensive the policy is and premiums may increase on an annual basis. It is advisable to perform regular health checks on your cask or wine every three years. DECANT INDEX may occasionally require certain information from you to comply with HMRC requirements.
Casks: Cask services are chargeable to you, including regauging, samples, and photographs. All casks are stored within HMRC-bonded warehouses and are subject to strict rules and regulations set by HMRC. If you wish to sample or bottle your cask, duty and VAT will be due before the whisky or rum has been bottled and the finished goods are removed from the HMRC-bonded warehouses. This remains the responsibility of the cask owner. “New Make” spirit has to be matured for 3 years, during which time its alcoholic strength could reduce. In addition, the volume of spirit will decrease over time (“the Angels’ share”). For the product to be classed as “whisky”, it must retain a minimum strength of 40%.
