_Fabulous properties with wine cellars
Savvy investors have made excellent returns on wine in recent years, with the asset class enjoying blistering growth of 24% in 2016, according to the latest Knight Frank Fine Wine Icons Index. However, many oenophiles are more concerned with drinking wine rather than simply watching its value grow.
Beyond the obvious wow factor of the wine cellars we’ve selected, there's the untempered pleasure of being able to enter your own temperature controlled cellar and pulling out your favourite bottle of wine to enjoy in the comfort of your home.
All featured properties with wine cellars are on the market and available through Knight Frank.
