Here are 5 tips for all you budding wine and whiskey collectors out there. Collecting can be an enjoyable and rewarding hobby than can prove to be a great investment.
1 – Decide on a budget –
Experts have told that £1,000 is a great starting point. This will allow you to spread your collecting out over months or years, giving you great flexibility with your purchasing.
2 – Buy what you like –
Having a wine or whiskey collection is about enjoying your chosen drink. Ideally your collection should be varied but for a starting point, stick to what you enjoy.
3 – Storage –
Before you buy your first bottle you need to know where to store it. Think of places that will maintain a steady temperature such as a basement. Temperature fluctuation will have considerable effect on the wine in the long term.
4 – Find the deals –
This where winery or whiskey clubs and magazines come in handy. If you are willing to take a chance on them then looking at deals could be a great place to start in order to grow your collection.
5 – Keep learning –
Do the research, read reviews and books. When you do pour that first glass that you have saved for years then you’ll know that your research will have paid off.
