Between 2015 and 2022, whiskey and fine wine have historically generated annual returns of 13.8% and 8.9%, respectively.
Low Return

Long-term Investment

Vinovest offers three time horizons for wine investment: short-term (5-7 years), medium-term (7-10 years), and long-term (10+ years), with customization options for higher-tier clients.

Regulation and audits
Audited
Vinovest is audited annually by insurers and an independent auditor but is not SEC-regulated as it does not deal in securities.
Regulation and audits
SEC Regulated
Concreit is registered with the SEC as a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), making it a fiduciary required to act in its clients' best interests. This registration subjects Concreit to SEC oversight and compliance standards.
Insurance
Yes
Vinovest insures client assets against damage, with reimbursement at full market value, although not all loss scenarios may be covered.
Insurance
No
Concreit investments do not have FDIC or SIPC insurance, meaning there's no governmental or organizational protection against loss for funds invested on the platform.
Payouts
Dividends
Concreit distributes dividends from the net income of rental properties, after deducting expenses. For Cash Flow investments, the goal is weekly dividend payments, with an option for reinvestment. Home Shares investors receive quarterly dividends based on rental income, with potential profit from property appreciation upon sale. Distribution frequency and income depend on each property's performance and market conditions.
Withdrawals
Investors get money back from Vinovest after selling matured or scarce wines, generally within a 10 to 15-year timeframe.
Withdrawals
Concreit investors face a 60-day hold period for withdrawals after investment, with the overall process taking 2-3 weeks. A short-term withdrawal fee applies to profits withdrawn within 12 months, where investors receive their full principal but only 4/5 of short-term gains.
Extra Fees
Yes
Vinovest charges tiered management fees: 2.5% (Standard), 2.35% (Plus), 2.15% (Premier), and 1.90% (Grand Cru), applied only on invested capital. A 1.5% selling fee is incurred upon sale, with free listing.
Extra Fees
Yes
Concreit charges a flat $5 monthly fee for accounts under $5,000 and a 1.0% annual fee for balances of $5,000 or more, aimed at covering asset management costs. Fees are deducted monthly from the investor's bank account or the fund, based on the ending account balance the day before assessment.
Taxes
Annual Statement
Wine gains taxation through Vinovest depends on location: taxed as collectibles in the U.S., often exempt in the U.K., with similar exemptions in other countries. Vinovest provides monthly and annual statements for tax reporting, not 1099 forms.
Taxes
Tax Form
Concreit supports investors during tax season by issuing a Form 1099-DIV for holdings that distribute $10 or more annually, simplifying tax filing. They aim to have tax documents ready by February 1st.
