Truly independent

Their activity creates the deepest pool of transactional pricing data available. This data informs the global market price for fine wine

Access to our database provides you with over 875m current and historic price points for over 300,000 wines. The Liv-ex Mid Price is used to create our indices and to accurately value the world’s leading funds. It’s uniquely validated using actual transaction prices and is quoted by Bloomberg and Reuters as the industry standard.

Access over £60m of buying and £70m of live selling opportunities on the world’s largest marketplace for fine wine.
Your dedicated Account Manager will help you spot investment and liquidation opportunities.
View and use benchmark indices
The Liv-ex indices track the prices of the most traded fine wines on the market. The industry benchmark Liv-ex 100 represents the most traded wines on the market.
