Do you remember the days when buying and selling wine was done over the phone? Our founders, James Miles and Justin Gibbs, certainly do, because that’s exactly how Liv-ex started 25 years ago.
Since then, the internet brought with it increased opportunities to trade with businesses further afield. But wine businesses still had to pull data from numerous sources across the web and compile dense spreadsheets with their own formulas, just to set prices and value wine.
At Liv-ex we’ve evolved since the days of telephone calls and manual trading, to provide our members with a sleek, user-friendly platform, to not only buy and sell wine, but to view a wealth of fine wine data points, all in one place.
Our data and insights are totally independent which give us a unique position in the industry.
Liv-ex Market Price
Long gone are the days of website-hopping, complex spreadsheets, and countless hours spent compiling data to value a client portfolio.
In order to save our members time and help them make informed decisions Liv-ex has developed the Market Price data point. This is the best listed price for a wine in the secondary market. We consolidate data from a breadth of sources into a single, industry-leading reference point —trusted by merchants worldwide to help them accurately price wine.
To put together a wine’s Market Price, we compile list prices from a wide range of trusted wine businesses, Liv-ex members and beyond, from both publicly available sources and trade-only B2B sources, to create a singular view of how the wine is priced in the secondary market.
Our powerful algorithm runs through over 200 million data points daily, outputting a Market Price for over 550,000 wines. The breadth of our data means we can provide a price from the latest Bordeaux releases to decades-old Burgundian wines, famed for their scarcity.
Individual Wine Pages
On Liv-ex individual wine pages, members can get a full picture of a wines current and historic value on the secondary market. Historic transactional data from Liv-ex displays on the same page as auction pricing data and release prices. As well as critic scores, ABVs and drinking windows so that members can consume a wealth of historical and timely data to make informed investment and trading decisions.
Against every wine, buyers and sellers can view regional benchmarks in Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore, the US and Bordeaux negociants to understand the market value of wine globally.
All of this information is standardised across wines and presented in an engaging and digestible format, saving our members hours of work that would typically be spent valuing and comparing different wines.
