20% opp for 2000 årgangen på Christie's i London

01.10.08

September 30 (Christie's) -- Referanseprisene for alle Premiere Cru vinene av 2000 årgangen  fra Bordeaux spratt opp 20% da auksjonshuset Cristie's avholdt sine septemberauksjoner 15. og 18. september i London. En kasse Château Lafite Rothschild 2000 ble solgt for utrolige £10.925 (forhåndsestimater lå mellom £7.000 og £9.000) mens en kasse Château Latour 2000 ble solgt for £9.200 (forhåndsestimater lå mellom £6.000 og £8.000).

Å samle på vin kan derfor virke som en "trygg havn" i disse turbulente finanstider.

 Chris Munro, Head of Wine, Christie's London said: "The two sales held this week in London generated huge interest throughout the fine wine world. Following tastings in Hong Kong, Paris, London and New York we witnessed active bidding from around the globe by fax, telephone and on line as well as many active bidders in the room. The combined totals reached £1,654,775 with 98% sold by value. We saw an upswing of prices for the 2000 vintage with all the first growths jumping by around 20%. The market for fine wine continues to show resilience across all levels with not just first growths showing strongly. We also witnessed a surge in demand for all wines from this famed vintage."
