The fine wine market, measured on realised trades.
Not shop asking prices: 212,270 completed sales since 2015. Each index publishes its matched-pair count and its full basket, and a period we could not price honestly is left as a gap.

Every index
Sorted on the server, so the column headers are ordinary links. Constituents and matched pairs are shown because they are what tells you whether a level means anything.

In-bond exchange prices, GBP, net of fees. One UK venue. A dash means we did not publish that figure. `live` is current with the newest period any index cleared; `provisional` last cleared the gate earlier than that; `suppressed` has not cleared it at all.
How it is built
Prices are realised trades, normalised to one 750ml bottle before anything else happens: two thirds of trades are six-packs, and skipping that step would build an index of packaging. A wine-vintage joins when it has at least four trades in the trailing twelve months across at least three distinct months.
Returns are matched pairs — the same wine-vintage sold twice — chained across quarterly windows rather than monthly ones, because 57.4% of month-on-month price pairs in this tape are identical and chaining on them would manufacture stability. Constituents are wine plus vintage, never producer: Lafite alone has 62 vintages here, so a producer-level median moves when trading rotates between vintages even though no price changed.
A period publishes only with at least 20 matched pairs and at least 25% of the constituent count behind it. Below that the point is suppressed and the chart shows a gap. We never interpolate, and every trimmed observation is logged.
Buyer’s premium is deliberately outside the index. It is not a constant — 10% to 26% across venues on the same day, and rising over time — so an all-in index would report fee inflation as market return. The all-in number belongs on a per-lot calculator, which is what the landed-cost tool is for.
Use this data
Quote any level with attribution to WineExperts and a link to this page. Each index has its own page with the complete constituent list, because a basket you cannot inspect is a number you should not cite — publishing ours is how we found a Burgundy négociant sitting in a Bordeaux index.
Read it precisely: this is a research index of in-bond trade prices at one UK venue. It is not a tradable benchmark, not a forecast, and not a worldwide measure. Wider coverage is a data-acquisition problem, not a modelling choice.
