About Boom Cellar
BoomCellar tracks wine stocks — the publicly listed vineyards, Champagne houses and wine producers of 13 countries — and publishes the indices that put one number on them. Wine as an asset class usually means bottles, funds or Liv-ex price indices; this is the other route: owning the producers themselves.
Published since 2015, and reconstituted in 2026 to the universe and index family below; three indices — WINE, CRU and EAST — sit on one universe and one rule.
The BoomCellar WINE Index — index definition
The BoomCellar WINE Index is a market-capitalisation-weighted composite of 22 listed wine producers.
- Universe: companies whose primary business is growing, producing, or selling wine, with a live public listing. Diversified drinks giants (LVMH, Pernod Ricard, Constellation) are excluded — they are drinks conglomerates, not vineyards.
- Calculation: for each constituent, last price × approximate shares outstanding, converted to EUR at current rates; the index is the sum of these market caps divided by the base-date sum, × 100.
- Base: 2026-07-03 = 100 (v2). The original v1 index was based 2015-08-10 = 100 with a EUR divisor of 6,531,967,292; the v1 and v2 series are not directly comparable because the universe changed materially.
- Limitations: share counts are compiled from company filings and are approximate; historical index values use current FX rates (not historical); prices are delayed. This is an editorial research index, not an investable benchmark.
CRU (boutique) and EAST (Asia-Pacific) are computed by the same engine on the same base date: CRU admits constituents below €100m in market value, EAST those listed in Asia-Pacific. See CRU and EAST.
