Look up any Classified Bordeaux wine in a good year (plenty of good years) from Saint Em Grand Cru or the Medoc that’s over fifteen years old and what they’re going for now vs what their current vintage is going for.
None of that stuff from fifteen to twenty years ago was over $500 at the time, now a lot of it’s in the thousands. What’s crazy is that you can still buy 9’s, 10’s, 12’s, 15’s and 16’s all just as good a years as 00’s, 05’s etc for under $500. All of it will be worth well over what their back vintages are currently going for once they hit their 10-20 yr mark.
I know it sounds like a lot but think about just buying one btl of palmer 15 for 400ish. Zero chance that’s not worth at least 2 grand by 2030. One btl. Stuff is like sure fire stock. It never goes down and only goes up and goes up crazy. Funny thing is you don’t have to be a somm to know these good years. The info is out there upon current release what’s good and what’s not. I just picked up a 15 certan for 375. Wife not too happy about it but it’s almost like you’d be a fool not to buy at least a few of these types of bottles and just lay them down for a decade. Eventually you’re either drinking an unattainable bottle that’s in the thousands that you paid a few hundred for or you just sell it and make a huge profit off of. There will always be a major demand for these wines. Been going on for 100’s of years. Their value never goes down or stays the same, it just continuously goes up at a faster rate as time goes on.
if you have even so much as a cheap small wine fridge, not a bad idea to buy a good classified bordeaux for your kids birth year (so long as it’s a good vintage) and just hold on to it for them as gift for them for when they eventually get old enough to appreciate it.
