Liv-ex Prices

The London International Vintners Exchange is a source of transaction-based, real-time, and historic fine wine market data. Its price data is used by professional fine wine merchants to value wine and inform buying and selling decisions. 

All standard Liv-ex prices are reflective of stock held in bond. This means that they exclude taxes, which vary according to country. 

Market Price 

The Market Price is the best-listed price for a wine in the secondary market. You can find more details on how it is calculated, and how you can use it, here. 

Mid-Price 

The mid-point between the highest live bid and lowest live offer on the market, validated against additional data including transaction prices. Mid-prices are used to calculate the Liv-ex indices and value the world’s leading fine wine funds. 

Prices given are for 12x75cl trades, or 6x75cl converted to a 12x75cl price. 

Bid Price and Offer Price 

The price at which Liv-ex trading members are currently bidding to buy or offering to sell the wine on the market.

Average List Price 

The 30-day mean price for all stock listed by Liv-ex merchants. 

Offex data
