May was a quiet month for fine wine in terms of price movements, although volumes remained reasonable.
All Liv-ex indices ran flat in May for fine wine, mainly due to the failed 2012 En Primeur campaign that has left the market in stasis.

Due to Bordeaux’s rousing performance earlier in the year, the Liv-ex 50 index has posted a year to date increase of 5.3%, despite the recent dip. The DRC 50 – which has been one of the best indices of the last few years – has shown notable signs of slowing.
Meanwhile the Super Tuscan 50 continues to perform solidly.
In 2012, the Liv-ex indices rose in the first quarter before falling following the failed En Primeur campaign. The Liv-ex 100 fell 4% in May 2012.
Last month’s loss of just 0.3% gives hope that the market may have avoided repeating this pattern.
