Wine Business Growth Capital

Until recently, private wine businesses were financed principally through owners’ equity and conventional bank financing, because the modern U.S. wine industry was in the early development stages and had not yet established a track record sufficient to attract the wider range of financial institutions used by other, more established industries.  That is now changing, and early forms of alternative growth capital are becoming attracted to wine.

Global Wine Partners has worked for several years to educate financial institutions about the true investment potential in the premium wine industry.  Based on some early initial success, more institutions are considering wine industry investments.  We now see major investment funds and private equity groups making forays into wine. 

New Financing Sources

GWP has developed working relationships with and advises a number of these institutions in seeking appropriate wine investment opportunities.  The bank has wine industry investment joint ventures with a $30 billion hedge fund and a $2 billion NYSE REIT, relationships with a number of private equity groups, and also manages the International Wine Investment Fund with wine investments in the U.S., Europe and Australia.

These investors are generally seeking to invest expansion capital in established, successful and growing wine businesses.  These may be minority, majority or 100% investments.  The type of capital can range from equity and equity-linked instruments, to subordinated and senior debt, to lease financing and off-balance sheet financing.
