Fractional Wine & Spirits

Browse All Our Vineyards & Wine Opportunities

The fractional ownership of a vineyard usually embraces three key elements: the sale of a portion of a freehold vineyard, quality wines supplied to you direct and also specially labelled as your own unique vintage if required, and a limited investment opportunity.

There is usually also the opportunity to get yourself involved in the wine-making process, tasting and blending sessions and wine festivals.

The wine industry has developed very quickly from a regional market to a global market, and emerging new wine regions have intensified the competition almost to the point of oversupply in some countries. The overall worldwide wine consumption is increasing, although this varies from country to country.

The good timing of wine purchases, the professional selection and due diligence of the wine company, and the partnership with industry-known experts are all ingredients which make fractional wine investment financially very promising.

The whisky world is, at present, attempting to unpick the industrial revolution. When Aeneas Coffey patented his continuous still in 1831, he made the production of blended whisky on an almost limitless scale possible.

Current whisky blends and brands continue to dominate global sales. However, the creative consumer is turning towards the authenticity and character of malt whisky and is demanding something more individual.

By getting closer to the producer and the source and making it a lot more personal, wannabe whisky buffs are hankering for more of a lifestyle experience by joining distilleries for members only.

The core appeal of membership is involvement-invariably, the distilleries have 'distilling days' and whisky schools. Trust is also required, as some blends will only exist in the imagination until they have been produced. The lure, of course, is that, eventually, you may be able to pour a glass of malt for your friends and say, "I helped make this!"

Although in its early stages, it appears to be only a matter of time before somebody starts a champagne club based around the same model and, when they do, you'll hear about it first at Fractional Life.
