Must Have Wines to Add to Your Collection in 2025

From rising regions to timeless classics — here’s what every collector should be eyeing this year.Each vintage brings fresh opportunities to diversify your wine fridge collection, discover new producers, and stock up on future gems. 2025 is no exception. Whether you’re building a cellar for aging or simply want a dynamic selection to enjoy year-round, these wines deserve a spot in your wine fridges this year.

Bordeaux 2020s – Just entering their prime

Structured, balanced, and full of aging potential, the 2020 Bordeaux vintage is now reaching its drinking window for many cuvées. It’s the perfect time to stock up while prices are still accessible.

Look for:

  • Left Bank blends (Cabernet-driven) for longer aging
  • Right Bank Merlot-heavy wines for earlier enjoyment

New-Generation Beaujolais

No longer just for casual sipping, Beaujolais is enjoying a renaissance thanks to a wave of talented young winemakers. Expect juicy, energetic reds with surprising depth.

Look for:

  • Cru Beaujolais like Morgon, Fleurie, and Moulin-à-Vent
  • Natural, low-intervention producers

Dry Alsace Whites

Crisp, aromatic and incredibly food-friendly, dry Riesling and Pinot Gris from Alsace are making a strong comeback — especially among collectors who value both freshness and ageability.

Look for:

  • Grand Cru Rieslings
  • Organic and biodynamic domaines

Elegant Australian Wines

Australia is shedding its heavy red stereotype. Regions like the Yarra Valley and Margaret River are now producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that rival Burgundy in finesse — at a fraction of the price.

Look for:

  • Cool-climate producers
  • Aged Chardonnay with texture and minerality

Grower Champagne & Craft Sparkling

Bubbles are no longer reserved for celebrations. Grower Champagne, Pet-Nats, and traditional method sparkling wines from around the world are becoming collector favourites — complex, expressive, and often limited in production.

Look for:

  • Champagne RM (Récoltant-Manipulant) labels
  • Sparkling wines from Tasmania, Franciacorta, and the Loire Valley

Bonus: Keep an eye on emerging regions

Wines from Greece, Hungary, and Portugal are offering incredible value and uniqueness. Add a few to surprise your guests — and yourself.

FAQ – Buying Wine in 2025

Q: Should I buy wine by the case or bottle?

A: Depends on your goals. If you plan to age a wine or enjoy it over time, buying 3–6 bottles lets you track its evolution.

Q: Are 2020 Bordeaux wines ready to drink?

A: Some are entering their window, especially on the Right Bank. Others still need 3–5 years. Ask your wine merchant for guidance.

Q: What makes a wine “collectible”?

A: Age-worthiness, limited production, critical acclaim, and of course — personal enjoyment.

Q: Is it risky to invest in lesser-known regions?

A: Not at all. In fact, it’s often where the best value lies. Just be sure to store properly and take tasting notes.
