Updated 16th May 2022
There are many factors to consider at the moment that impact the normal production and release of current and new vintages; Supply chain issues coupled with an evolving landscape of prohibitive import tariffs targeting our exporters, being on the cusp of runaway inflation and climate change and let’s not forget being on the knife edge of pandemic protocols. All these conditions have a flow on affect and impact secondary market demand and values, and it is too early to formulate a reasonable guess how these factors might affect the secondary market in the longer term.
