Welcome to the June 2017 Liv-ex newsletter
The Liv-ex 100 Index bounced back in May after dipping the previous month, suggesting that the fine wine market has remained strong throughout a rocky En Primeur campaign. Liv-ex has been publishing commentary on all of the releases on Liv-ex Insights, here.
Wine Matcher wins Drinks Business Award
Last month, Liv-ex was awarded with the Supply Chain Initiative of the Year by The Drinks Business for Wine Matcher. The machine learning tool, which will launch in two weeks, allows members to standardise lists and add pricing data from Liv-ex at a speed of 10,000 lines per minute. Please contact your Account Manager or [email protected] to express interest.
Liv-ex Interview with Bernard Magrez
In May, Liv-ex published an interview with Bernard Magrez, the owner of four Grand Cru Classe Chateaux including Pape Clement. In it, Magrez discusses his career, the Bordeaux market and the 2016 campaign. To read the interview, click here.
Bordeaux 2016 releases and Market View
With the Bordeaux 2016 En Primeur campaign coming to an end this week, Liv-ex’s Market View tool will be taken offline. Our detailed analysis of the releases can still be found on the Liv-ex Insights pages, however members wishing to make the most of Market View, have until midday on Monday 19th June. Going forward, Liv-ex will continue to develop analytical tools to help you make trading decisons and would appreciate any feedback, or suggestions you may have. Please contact your Account Manager with your thoughts.
In focus: Liv-ex List
Just like merchant lists, the Liv-ex List shows you all of the best offers in the market – in Excel format. By default, the most recent offers appear at the top – and we only show you those available below Market Price. This allows members to find opportunities among the £15m of current live offers on the Exchange. Prices are shown in GBP, EUR/bt, HKD and USD. To view the latest list, please click here.
If you wish to receive a weekly list, please contact your Account Manager.
Liv-ex in the news
Bordeaux 2016 has been the talk of the trade – and the press – this month. The commenters include Bloomberg and The Drinks Business, who have both published several articles on the releases, with db concluding last Friday: “Is anyone really trying anymore?“.
