Why is the authenticity of the wines you buy so important? And what solutions are there to ensure that you can later enjoy or sell the wine you bought years ago?
We discussed this and much more with Chloe Ashton, Managing Director 1275 SA. At 1275, the driving force is traceability, and offering the world's most collectible fine wines with perfect, proven provenance.

Do you like sparkling wine? What seemed to be a wine for party people has become a rising star in the world of fine wine. And after the big rise of the French still wine regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, Champagne is probably THE last region with great upside potential.
We had the opportunity to speak to our friend Michael about the specialities of Champagne, how its quality has improved impressively over the last few decades and which vintages are often overlooked. His love of champagne has seen him taste more than many professional wine journalists, so it's definitely worth listening to what he has to say!
Enjoy part 2!
Rasmus founded RareWine 18 years ago back in 2006 from scratch. Now it is one of the leading wine merchants in Europe. Due to the obvious synergies (direct access to producer, broad knowledge of market dynamic etc.), they later founded their wine investment branch called RareWine Invest.
During our discussion with Rasmus we touched on many topics. Especially interesting was RareWine's clear focus on Champagne and Burgundy when it comes to investing (yes you heard right, almost no Bordeaux!).
He then left us in the dark while blind-tasting the wine he brought to the studio. Tune in if you want to know how wrong we were with our guesses and which wines we tasted. We only want to reveal this much: after the recording we bought several cases of the tasted wine - for investing purposes but also to enjoy drinking some of them.
We had that much fun talking that we decided to split the podcast in two parts. The second part will be released soon.
