For those contemplating investment in fine wine as part of an overall investment portfolio, the latter part of 2008 serves as a good barometer for the resilience of this market.

As predicted, the initial dip seen last October, attributed to the large sell-off of investment grade wines as global economies turned sour, is starting to show signs of sustained recovery, thanks in large part to the unique supply and demand characteristics that influence this market. Increasing worldwide demand for these wines, particularly from the Asian market, has resulted in an inverse supply curve and prices ticking back up.

It would appear that Hong Kong’s intentions are clear in wanting to become the trading hub for fine wines in the region by adopting a zero tax policy on wines and spirits to replace the 40% tax levied previously. This, combined with the weak sterling, has been the catalyst for the major auction houses, (Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Acker Merrill), setting up shop in Hong Kong and enjoying considerable success. Traditionally, these same auction houses hold their monthly sales of fine wines in London and New York to provide added value to their core of art buying clients, which stands in contrast with the fledgling market developing in Hong Kong where wine has taken centre stage.

Rather than being ‘wine investors’, the profile of buyers in the East Asian region suggests that they are buying for consumption rather than profit, however with such a strong track record of performance within the established market, we feel it is only a matter of time before speculation begins to play a greater role and further contribute to the longevity of this present growth cycle.

Although it is often said that the market for fine wines is the last to feel the impact of any economic upheaval and the first to show recovery, there is no substitute for seeing this principal put to the test as indeed we have over the last 10 months.

What has become apparent is that rather than there being a period of inactivity – consumption, collection and speculation have remained unhindered leaving auctioneers bullish and investors currently still able to buy investment grade wines at an advantageous price, indicating probable growth in the medium as well as long term.

Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. (BCCL) has acquired a stake in Lavasa Corporation Ltd., a subsidiary of Hindustan Construction Company Real Estate Ltd, India’s leading construction and infrastructure company.

The investment is the result of the efforts by Times Private Treaties, the innovative venture from the Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. (BCCL) Group, which already has investments in more than 200 companies across various sectors. The Times Private Treaties business model eases the cash flow of a company so that resources set aside for brand development activities can be used toward business growth & expansion.

Lavasa is a complete new hill city being built across 12,500 acres, nestled amidst the majesty of the Sahyadri Mountains. Some distance from Mumbai and Pune, this new city embodies the spirit of human nature to aspire to a holistic life. The town is eco-friendly, based on the principles of New Urbanism and set amidst 7 hills and 60 kms of lake front.

Planned for a population of only 1.5 lakh permanent residents with an estimated tourist inflow of 20 lakh per annum, Lavasa is developing fast, with the first town slated to be ready in 2010.

The residents of Lavasa can access state-of-the-art modern amenities while enjoying the tranquility of wide-open expanses and a scenic natural waterfront.

A self-contained world, Lavasa offers its residents and visitors a spectacular array of business, educational, recreational and rejuvenation opportunities.

“Lavasa is in line with the concept of large scale urban development, specifically catering to special needs of the new economy. Fully integrated township complexes offer a comprehensive modern city infrastructure, encompassing basic amenities, social infrastructure, educational institutions, health care facilities, hospitality and shopping & entertainment options. These townships also set benchmarks in ecological urbanism. In addition, we see significant contribution to the economy and employment arising from such largescale projects. While Times Private Treaties has consistently made risk sharing investments in different formats of enterprise development, Lavasa will be an important addition to the portfolio, given the size and scale of the project.” said Karthik Reddy, Vice President, Times Private Treaties.  The Times Private Treaties business model is designed to share risk, accelerate growth and create value for the brand in the long term.

The Lavasa township is being designed and constructed by architects and contractors of international standing and supported by various experts in the fields of planning, construction, transportation, utility, environment and other infrastructure of the township.

The master plan of Lavasa (approx 12,500 acres) is developed by internationally renowned design consultant HOK, USA and is a recipient of many international awards. It is based on the principles of new urbanism that brings together all the components essential to daily life in a more organized manner thus creating spaces within walking distance from each other. It has many firsts to its credit – technology leadership, e governance, the first Indian city developed using Geographical Information System (GIS) , use of bio-mimicry as a science for planning and using innovative techniques like hydro seeding in environment management.

Lavasa aims to provide a perfect work – life balance with a unique combination of technology and infrastructure advancements. It also offers a diversity of work possibilities designed to appeal to the IT and biotech industry, KPOs and R&D companies, as well as the world of art, fashion and animation.

A complement of global leaders in Hospitality (Accor, ITC), Health and Wellness (Apollo Hospitals) and Education (Said Business School, Oxford University, Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne – Switzerland, GDST – UK, International Business Relations (IBR) – Germany, NSHM Knowledge Park – Kolkatta, Symbiosis, Christ University – Bangalore, Christel House) have already been tied up. SpaceWorld, a 65-acre edutainment park powered by technology from USSRC and NASA, will offer a space-like experience to visitors, and will be operational by the 2010.

Lavasa is planned for a permanent population of 2 lakh residents and a tourist inflow envisaged at 20 lakh per annum. The first town Dasve is slated to be ready by 2010. Lavasa is a prime offering from HCC, with a level of city infrastructure yet to be experienced in India, thus setting a new benchmark in planning, construction and service delivery.
