Wine Collection Appraisals

Do you have an extensive wine collection?

 

 

 

Have you considered what you would do in the event of a catastrophic loss or other unexpected even

               

 Bottles will break…labels will float off or burn…foils will melt. How will these wines be identified? Your last chance…the cork may have limited information. Don’t count on your insurer to understand your collection the way you do. Some will…Most won’t. Your collection is a living, breathing investment. Inventory is an ongoing process…drink some…buy more… drink some more! As your inventory is a rollercoaster, so is the value. Not only quantity, but also the varietals, origin, age and market tends will effect the value.

Emerald Art Services can provide a detailed inventory, condition report and current market value of your wine collection. This can serve as the documentation of your loss when your insurer requests it. An appraisal also documents your assets should you experience any other sudden occurrence. I am an ISA accredited appraiser with over 20 years of wine retail and collecting experience. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your concerns.
