  • One of the few slices of the secondary market finding a silver lining with the potential trade war is the secondary market that is heating up.

The article from Robb Report discusses the impact of new tariffs on European wines, particularly from France, Germany, and Spain, which were set to increase from 25% to 50% as of January 11, 2021. These tariffs, initially imposed by the Trump administration in response to subsidies given to Airbus, have led to a significant shift in the wine market. Wine collectors and investors are increasingly turning to the secondary market to buy and sell wines, as the tariffs make new imports more expensive. This has resulted in a surge in demand for older vintages and rare bottles, driving up prices on the secondary market. The article highlights how these economic pressures are reshaping the wine industry, with experts suggesting that the trend towards the secondary market is likely to continue as long as the tariffs remain in place.
