About the Liv-ex Bordeaux 500 Index

The Liv-ex Bordeaux 500 is Liv-ex's most comprehensive index and reflects trends in the wider fine wine market. It represents the price movement of 500 leading wines and is calculated monthly using the Liv-ex Mid Price. It has been backdated to December 2003.

The index comprises six sub-indices: the Fine Wine 50, the Right Bank 50, the Second Wine 50, the Sauternes 50, the Right Bank 100 and the Left Bank 200.

How the Index is calculated

• 500 component wines - the last ten “physical” vintages of each qualifying label.
• Components are added in June of the year they become physical (2013s added in July 2016), and are removed after ten years (2003s removed in July 2016).
• Each component is represented by one 12x75cl case.
• The component price is calculated using the Liv-ex Mid Price. The Mid Price is the most robust measure for pricing wines available in the market (see the full Liv-ex Mid Price methodology ).
