2011抗通脹投資攻略
2011年01月13日
紅酒升值眾所周知，上月一批 2008年 Lafite酒花，因招紙多了一個「八」字，升值了五倍。紅酒升幅驚人，連帶其餘酒類亦水漲船高，香檳將會是下一浪被炒的酒類。
酒界素有「紅酒先升，香檳追隨」的說法，由於優質香檳產量有限，同樣飲一支便少一支。近年中國等新興市場對紅酒需求大增，故專家認為香檳升值潛力必定驚人。
古小姐經常與朋友一起品酒，餐前例點香檳。
去年蘇富比拍賣會首次推出的粉紅香檳競投，一批三十瓶的六六年、七八年等六個稀有年份的香檳 Dom Perignon，以一百三十三萬元成交，由亞洲收藏家投得，破了世界單批香檳成交紀錄。
Dom Perignon（唐培里儂）有香檳之父之稱，當中以九三年份出產的較有名氣，價格由十年前一千元一支，升至現時約三千元。事實上，反映葡萄酒價格指數的倫敦 Liv-ex100，去年升了近四成，同期恒指只有半成增長，可見投資洋酒的回報十分可觀。
其實，香檳一向是女士的至愛，貪其酒色鮮豔及綿密的氣泡，就如從事文職的古小姐，兩年前開始飲香檳，「香檳顏色好靚，尤其係白色香檳，又有花香嘅酒味，比較易入口，最啱過時過節一大班朋友一齊飲。」
她更參加品酒工作坊，學飲香檳，惟看見香檳價格愈來愈高，遂買了數十支香檳，共兩萬四千元，現時賬面升值兩成，「開頭飲二百幾蚊一支，慢慢飲到近千蚊，見啲香檳愈黎愈貴，上年買定十幾支，唔怕第時要捱貴酒。」
香港葡萄酒評審協會主席鄺英志指，現時香檳的投資仍在起步階段，大幅落後於紅酒，「八二年 Lafite要四、五萬蚊一支，大多數識飲完紅酒，之後就會飲香檳，所以香檳嘅升值潛力一定好勁。」
鄺英志表示香檳是經濟寒暑表，因為市道暢旺，多人開香檳慶祝。
香檳壽命短
事實上，香檳是法國的一個釀酒區，位於北部，由於葡萄酒經過第二次發酵，需時三至五年變成有氣泡的酒，現時每年限量出產三億支。
與紅酒不同，香檳的氣泡會隨時間而漸漸流失，因此並非收藏愈久愈好，最長亦只有二十年，所以最重要在死線前賣掉或喝掉。惟有些過了二十年的香檳仍十分值錢，鄺英志解釋那些酒已經沒有氣泡，理應一文不值，但基於那些年份出產的葡萄屬較上等，所以仍有收藏價值。
其實，香檳分有年份及沒有年份，無年份（ Non Vintage）的香檳代表由不同年期的葡萄合製而成，質量較穩定，但卻沒有投資價值。而有年份的香檳則代表該年的葡萄收成質素較好，所以被冠以年份，升值潛力較大。「九○、九五、九八、○○及○五年嘅香檳質素，公認最好。」
值博紅酒香檳
香檳屬後起之秀，而紅酒亦有升值空間，以下佳釀，絕對有爆升潛力：
Cheateau Haut-Brion
| Chateau Margaux
|
Dom Perignon
| KRUG
|
名廠出產有保證
除了講究年份外，酒廠的名氣亦十分重要，鄺英志建議幫襯三大酒廠，包括 Dom Perignon、 KRUG及 Louis Roederer，「呢三間酒廠出產嘅酒，有部分都已經被納入 Liv-ex成分酒。」尤其以 Dom Perignon最著名，有三百多年歷史，堅持使用橡木釀製香檳。
其實，香檳一般儲存在攝氏十二度以下，除了存放在家中的酒櫃，現有九間酒庫獲品質保證局認可，存酒較有保障，以 Crown Wine Cellars為例，少於十箱，每年每箱費用為二百八十八元，其後每箱一百四十四元，免入會費。而轉售則可幫襯 Farr Vintners或 Berry Bros.& Rudd等酒商，向酒商要求售出，公司便會開價，通知所屬會員有否興趣購買，並收取酒價一成作手續費。 茅台也爆升
貴州茅台年產一點一萬噸，現時一支五百毫升普通裝，被炒至二千元。
除了紅酒和香檳，被喻為國酒的茅台，價格亦屢創新高，茅台分三十八、四十三及五十三度酒精濃度，其中以五十三度為最受歡迎，年份愈久的茅台愈值錢，去年拍賣一支五八年茅台，成交一百四十五萬元。
而現時標準裝五百毫升，○四年大概三百元一支，○九年已升了三倍，直至現時已飆升至二千元。茅台年產量一點一萬噸，供不應求之下，有投資者已囤貨託價，有香港茅台零售商指，在香港多了客人入貨，「好多酒樓都入定貨，但而家五十三度周圍都缺貨，俾人收起晒，要成二千蚊一支。」
Wine appreciation remain strong. Last month, the price of en Primeur of 2008 Lafite been has appreciated five-fold, the reason behind is the chinese character "eight" on the bottle. The announcement increase concern in red wine market , together with all other fine alcohol.
Champagne will be the next market favourite.
Within the wine industry, it is believed that "When fine red wine appreciate, Champagne always followed with" saying that the quality of Champagne production is limited, and they are gone fast over time. China and other emerging markets in recent years have huge demand for red wine, so experts believe that champagne will definitely have an amazing potential.
Sotheby's auction last year had first launched lot of pink champagne, a group of thirty bottles of vintage 66', 78' and six other rare vintage Dom Perignon Champagne, was realised at 1.33HKD. This asian collector broke the world record of a single batch of champagne sold. Dom Perignon (Dom Perignon) are known as the father of Champagne. By far the most reputed is vintage 93', price from 1000HKD a decade ago, rose to about 3000HKD. In fact, the London Liv-ex100 reflects wine price, last year, an increase of about 40%, Hang Seng Index over the same period increased only 5%, we can see very considerable return on investment in wine. In fact, Champagne has always been a favorite of ladies, both the colour and the gentle bubble. Like Miss.Koo, who began to drink champagne two years ago , "champagne have beautiful colour , particularly those of white champagne, which always have a floral nose. Their taste are always gentle and suitable for a group of friends to enjoy together. " She also took part in wine tasting workshops, learning to drink champagne, but champagne prices is rising fast, then bought a dozen bottles of champagne at a total of 24,000HKD. Which are currently appreciation over 20%, "It only take a couple hundred in the beginning, until recently rise to nearly a thousand bucks. As they are expected to appreciate further, we brought a dozen last year and put in stock rather than buying at a higher rate. "
