Wine investment is becoming an option for both confident collectors and a growing phalanx of “newbies” who are venturing into wine collection for the first time. As a result, wine has grown to be the fourth most popular luxury investment globally. Initially, wine investment was limited to only the top wines of Bordeaux, France. However, with growing global interest in wine investment, wines from other top French regions, such as Burgundy and the Rhône, are positioning themselves for investment, along with selected top wines from California, Spain and Australia. Another country making its case for investment in its fine wines is South Africa. Poised between the elegant restraint of Old World wines and the ripeness of New World wines, South African fine wines present an incredible investment opportunity for both experienced collectors and those beginning to build a collection. In tandem with global penetration, investment in South African wine is growing in prevalence among the local market, too. Total auction [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Daniel R. Mueller was not planning on purchasing a wine estate initially. In fact, his intention was quite the opposite considering the large percentage of wine farms in South Africa.
