Sterling appears to be on quite an unpleasant rollercoaster ride. The government’s “mini budget” tax cuts and borrowing plans have triggered a sharp selloff in sterling, sending the pound to its lowest ever level against the US dollar.

If you’re thinking about a first time investment but aren’t sure where to start, investing in wine could be the way forward. In comparison with other financial investments, fine wine is considered to be low-risk and high-reward. Fine wine investment is an excellent way to diversify your portfolio, as it is a tangible asset that improves with age and is not as intrinsically linked to the financial market as other investments.  If you had invested £100 in the fine wine market in 1952, your investment would now be worth £420,000.
