Over the past 15 years, the global investment wine market has demonstrated exceptional performance, surpassing most blue-chip equity markets.

According to the Union of Sommeliers and Experts of Russia, our country is emerging as a formidable player in the winemaking realm, capable of producing prestigious wines with long-term potential for cellaring.
