As climate change has become more destructive, and unpredictable weather more commonplace, the threat to vineyards has become unavoidable.

Investing in Fine Wine Is More Lucrative Than Ever

Buying rare wines is like investing in a startup: You need ten years of runway to see significant returns. But unlike a startup, wine is a lot more lucrative these days.

Had you allocated $100,000 to Cult Wines, a U.K.-based wine portfolio manager, your money—which is to say your wine—would have returned an average of 13 percent annually. In 2016, its index performance was actually 26 percent.
