London, August 2026 – For the first time since 2022, Burgundy has overtaken Bordeaux as the most traded wine region by value, according to new analysis from Liv-ex, the global fine wine exchange for market data, insight and trading.
For collectors and investors considering a return to the market, it may now be wise to consider Burgundy’s top names. Mid range Burgundies, however, face continuing pressure.
Sophia Gilmour, Market Analyst, commented:
„Taking the bid:offer ratios of Burgundy (beyond the 150) by price bucket, we can see a clear distinction between demand for the region’s top wines versus those on the market below £5,000/12×75. Though there has been a slight increase in demand for Burgundy under £5,000/12×75, supply (as proxied by value of offers) appears to be ever-expanding. The notable exceptions here are the better-known white wines in this price range.“

UK Buyers Account for 58% of Burgundy Bid Exposure
The UK has historically been Burgundy’s largest buyer base, however, its share of demand was somewhat squeezed through 2025. In 2026, UK buyers have regained some market share.
