2. Select single owner bottles Arena Irrigation Systems
Unlike the art market where a painting that has been part of more than one
high-profile or prestigious collection is a very good thing, that isn’t the case
when it comes to wines. In fact, when it comes to wines, collectors prefer a
bottle of wine or a collection of wines from a single owner. That’s right, just
one owner is seen as better. Why? These wine bottles were probably housed
or dare I say resting in a single wine cellar instead of traded here and there
upsetting the delicate balance of the wine within the bottle. Of course, such
movement can greatly impact a wine’s condition, taste, and value. So, one
owner is desirable.
You’d think this would be common sense but this has become quite a problem
at the trendy wine auction held in places like New York and Bordeaux. You
heard me, don’t drink the wine just yet. At least don’t drink it during the wine
auction. I know, it sounds crazy but you don’t want to drink yourself into a
bidding war. The results from Sotheby’s, Zachys, Acker’s and other well-known
wine auctions continue to be sky high for various wines from all over the world.
The main reason for this is because more often than not, auction bidders are
enjoying the wine in each auction lot so much that they bid up the lots to the
point where they are paying as much as double the high estimate for a good
bottle of wine.
Like anything else you are collecting, investigate the wines you are interested
in collecting and research the integrity of the sellers. Do your research to get
the best deal. This new and active collecting category of wine promises to
make collectors feel warm inside.
