What Are ‘En Primeur’ Wines?

‘En primeur’ wines, or wine ‘futures’ are those that are bought before the wine has been bottled and are still in the barrel. They are bought in bond – i.e. excluding duty and VAT. For many wines, buying ‘en primeur’ allows you to buy at a better price than buying after the wine has been bottled and shipped. The wine typically arrives in the UK one to three years after the harvest, therefore up to two years after you have made your purchase.

What is the 'Market Price'?

Our proprietary market making system runs algorithms across a basket of international supplier prices to establish the Market Price for a wine. This provides the benchmark against which buyers and sellers can make confident and informed decisions.

Please note: Market Prices are always expressed as a standard 9 litre case of 12 x 75cl bottles.
