We are Shaping the Future of Fine Wine.

Areni Global is an independent think tank dedicated to the future of fine wine. We exist to answer the big questions of our time and to address our industry’s major threats, including regulatory, environmental, and societal changes.

We do this by creating an international platform where experts and thought leaders can come together and share ideas, and by publishing key research and insights.

Inside La Place de Bordeaux

La Place de Bordeaux is by no means the only way to distribute fine wine, but it is rapidly becoming one of the most important. How does La Place work? Who controls it? Are the wines that flow through La Place guaranteed to be successful in the market? The only way to fully answer these questions is to speak to the people who work within it. This publication pulls together some of the most illuminating conversations we had with experts and thought leaders while preparing our podcast series Inside La Place de Bordeaux, and gathers the major takeaways of a six-months in-depth exploration. See what’s included.
