The Liv-ex Fine Wine 50 rose 0.25% this week with overall market activity, far livelier than the previous week in which Christmas Day squarely fell.

Bordeaux took a large share of regional trade by value (65.8%), thanks to several First Growths trading at a discount to market. Subsequently the market shares of Burgundy (14.0%), Champagne (8.9%) and Italy (6.4%) fell slightly while the USA retained its 1%.
