Champagne has lost some of its market fizz in recent months, but merchants and analysts say that buyers are still on the look-out for opportunities.
Prestige Champagne has been on a rollercoaster ride on the secondary market. Liv-ex, a global marketplace for the trade, said its Champagne 50 index rose in value by nearly 77% in the five years to the end of May 2023, yet the index fell by 2% in May itself and was down by 9% in 2023 year-to-date.
