LIV-EX INDICES SHOW FINE WINES HAVE ALL GROWN IN 2017, AND ITALY 100 (SOLAIA, TIGNANELLO, GUADO AL TASSO, MASSETO, ORNELLAIA, SASSICAIA, BARBARESCO E SORÌ TILDIN GAJA, BAROLO LE VIGNE SANDRONE AND REDIGAFFI TUA RITA) IS AT THE TOP: + 6.47%

Investment wines continue to grow in 2017. At least up to now, the hypothesized negative effects of Trump in the US, Brexit, China's slowdown, and international tensions related to economy and terrorism do not seem to have touched this particular segment of the wine market.
In the first five months of 2017, Liv-Ex indexes (www.liv-ex.com), the "thermometers" of the industry, are all positive. Following a slight decline in April they soared to an extensive and generalized growth in May.
The reference index Liv-Ex Fine Wine 100, which represents the price movements of the 100 most sought after wines on the secondary market (for Italy there are Masseto 2010, Sassicaia 2009 and 2010 , Ornellaia 2009 and 2010 and Solaia 2010) was up +2.2%, and of the Liv-Ex Fine Wine 1000, the largest platform index to +3.6% (which also includes Italy 100, sub index that grew the most, +6.47%, and is made up of the last 10 physical vintages of Solaia, Tignanello and Guado al Tasso (all Antinori), Masseto, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Barbaresco and Sorì Tildin di Gaja, Barolo Le Vigne of Luciano Sandrone and Redigaffi of TuaRita).
The indexes dedicated to Bordeaux also grew - Liv-Ex Fine Wine Investables + 2.3%, Liv-Ex 50 (the last 10 physical vintages of the 5 premier crus in Bordeaux) +2.7%, and Liv-Ex 500 + 3.1%.
