About the index

The Liv-ex Fine Wine 50 Index tracks the daily price movement of the most heavily traded commodities in the fine wine market - the Bordeaux First Growths. It includes only the ten most recent vintages (excluding futures, currently 1998-2007), with no other qualifying criteria applied.

It is calculated at 5pm (UK time) each working day. The daily close is published here every morning. The index dates back to January 2000 and was based at 100 in January 2004.

How the index is calculated

50 component wines - the last ten “physical” vintages of the five Bordeaux First Growths: Haut Brion, Lafite, Latour, Margaux and Mouton Rothschild.
Components are added in July of the year they become physical (3 years after vintage, 2007s added in July 2010), and removed after ten years (1997s removed in July 2010).
Each component is represented by one 12x75cl case.
The component price is calculated using the Liv-ex Mid Price. The Mid Price is the most robust measure for pricing wines available in the market (see the full Liv-ex Mid Price methodology).
The index is price weighted.
