In 2000, stockbrokers James Miles and Justin Gibbs set out to transform the fine wine market by establishing an online stock exchange for wine. With a bold vision and a striking Jeroboam of Mouton Rothschild, they introduced Liv-ex at the London Wine Trade Fair.

The rise of the internet made an electronic marketplace viable for fine wine, bringing together a historically fragmented industry in one place. By making fine wine trading more transparent and efficient, whilst reducing risk, Liv-ex redefined the way fine wine is traded.

Liv-ex today

Since 2000, membership has grown significantly. Liv-ex now has over 620 customers in 47 countriesWith the help of its members, Liv-ex continues to obsess about making the wine market more transparent efficient and safe and removing barriers to trade.  

Looking to the future

Liv-ex continues to seek to remove barriers to trade by designing and applying new standards and innovations in collaboration with its customers. These innovations have secured industry awards for four consecutive yearsbut Liv-ex’s role and values remain firmly rooted.  

“Liv-ex (London International Vintners Exchange) is no different from any other exchange. It provides an independent meeting place where its members – bound by a common profession – can come together to find out what is happening in their market and identify opportunities for profit.”
