In that time NEXUS has grown to become the largest independent inventory management service in the UK providing collectors of all sizes with the tools and support to manage their asset and buy or sell with whomever they choose.

There is currently a surfeit of people trying to sell you wine and an increasing number of options to sell your wine. There are merchants masquerading as ‘portfolio managers’ and boiler rooms purporting to be ‘investment advisers’. There have never been more opportunities and pitfalls in the fine wine market. Add to this the absence of any meaningful regulation and the need for independent assistance remains as strong as ever.

At NEXUS we can provide a range of services from storage to full asset management. All supplied with complete independence and the expertise gleaned from many years operating ‘behind the curtain’ in the fine wine trade. Our income is derived from providing services, not selling wine, so there is no confusion or conflict of interest and we aim to represent our clients best interests at all times.

What began as a bespoke service for a handful of top-end collectors has grown to over 2000 portfolios consisting of between 1 and 10000 cases with a total asset value of over £200m. 

These economies of scale allow us to negotiate fiercely on your behalf for all your service requirements from temperature controlled cellaring to international shipping. We have strong relationships within the trade ensuring your business is conducted efficiently and issues are resolved quickly. We sit in the middle of all your buying, selling, logistic and data needs, with our focus on efficiency, accuracy and value.

We are an ardent supporter of the independent fine wine trade with all its vagaries and eccentricities. Long on product knowledge but short on admin skills we aim to free them up to search for the best wines around the world on your behalf.

We do this through a purpose-built IT system and a selection of highly experienced humans. They are:
