消失的利润
在任何期酒活动中，当中有四个关键的参与者：酒庄、葡萄酒经销商、酒商和收藏家。对于系统的长期运作，以上各方都必须可从中赚取利润才值得继续参与。 超二级酒庄在波尔多的主流定价中占据一个尴尬的位置– 介于一级酒庄和较实惠的次级酒庄之间。下面的图表选择了一篮二级酒庄: 爱士图尔Cos D'Estournel、宝嘉龙Ducru Beaucaillou、玫瑰庄Montrose、宝马庄Palmer、碧尚男爵Pichon Baron 和碧尚拉龙Pichon Lalande ，计算了他们的期酒发行价*与当前市场价之间的差异百分比。如图所示，持有期酒为收藏家和酒商带来的利润自2005年以来急剧下降。 超二级酒庄可能自去年已开始降价，但因酒商和收藏家已连续三年都要赔钱，使他们购买这些期酒变得更加艰难。 *对于收藏家，这表示目前市场价与伦敦发行价之间的差异百分比。对商家而言，这则代表目前市场价与前酒商价之间的差异百分比。所有的价格以欧元计算。

市场力量
上面的图表显示了各酒庄2012葡萄酒的伦敦发行价与其目前可在市场上得到的最便宜年份价格之间的百分比差异。大约只有三分之一酒庄的2012年葡萄酒在市场上是最经济实惠的; 余下大多数其旧年份却更加便宜。 在二手市场高于发行价的交易都集中在那些参考了目前旧年份的市场价格而相应降低其2012年发行价的酒庄, 证明这一策略已取得了回报。
