Wine & Spirits Investment Report December 2022

As the wine & spirits market is busy with holiday orders, usually its a  busy time during the holiday period as sellers frantically offload year end stocks while trying to find time to balance their inventory.

 

A somber mood to the year end

2022 has been a difficult year for the economy & the stock market. Even during December Christmas week, stocks have started off in negative territory.  

 

One would assume if the market is down now, it could go up in Q1 which could suggest a recovery in the New Year.  Yet the market is talking of a big recession coming in 2023. it could be another slow year in 2023 for stocks with further inflation & interest rate increases.

 

It is odd that we have yet to see a ten year cyclical crash that has happened in previous decades. 

 

Could 2023 be the year for a real correction.

 

The wine investment market has performed in almost the complete opposite direction to the stock market this year.  It has seen solid growth, not a huge increase, but it has been stable and consistent.

 

Investors seek out safer environments to store their wealth.  Nevertheless, there is an element of hold and see. As there is little stock available in the market.

 

This has a very uncanny resemblance to the 2008 year end. Could it be a copy of 2009 where we saw a big lull in the economy for several years.

 

Looking on the bright side, if this does occur, don’t forget, we saw a huge rally in fine wine between 2009 and 2011.

 

From the team at Sure Holdings, we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
