I saw a piece on the naked wines website today about owning a share of a French vineyard... but it turns out you only rent a bit of a vineyard for
This lot actually sell you some acres of vineyard:
Has anyone here actually bought a share in a vineyard?
If so how is it going?
It sounds like something that has a huge potential to go badly wrong, and you could end up with nothing.
You're leasing a piece of land in a vineyard in a remote place that you know nothing about, so how do you know what's really going on there unless you're there to keep an eye on it? How do you know you won't be given a patch of infertile land in an area that seldom sees the sun and has never produced a quality grape? So the £400 gets you a parcel of land, but then what. Who will plant the vines, maintain them, harvest the grapes, and produce the wine, and how much will all that cost on top?

A few years back Ostrich farms were the investment vehicle of the future. It's too late investing now that Ostrich meat is the most popular dish in the UK and sold by every butcher and supermarket.
