Investing in wine and whiskey
This is commonly done by fitting your own wine cellar with special and unique wines you have collected. In London there is even a specialized stock market which focusses on trading in valuable wines. Another possibility is partaking in a wine investment fund. The most straightforward way is to simply subscribe to new wine harvests.
Nowadays, whiskey, too, is finding its way as an investment product. The possibilities are very diverse as well. You can invest in specific or special bottles, in aged batches or even in full barrels. Some whiskeys fall to the most profitable returns on the market.
Investing in wood
Something completely different is investing in woods or forests. Since the recent crisis, this way of investing money is becoming a popular alternative. Wood remains appealing because it is still commonly used as a building material and there is definitely a demand for it on the Asian Market, especially from China and India.
Green, greener, greenest
Sustainability is becoming a deciding factor for more and more investors. Investing in all kinds of green energy is gaining importance, whether it is wind-energy, solar energy or something else. There are several options: shares, funds, debentures etc. or you can invest in energy companies or suppliers of, for example, solar panels. What’s more, the government tends to stimulate investments in green energy by making it fiscally advantageous.
